Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-89059

high Nessus Plugin ID 348141

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- A flaw was found in RESTEasy's IIOImageProvider, which decodes attacker-supplied image request bodies without enforcing any limit on the declared image dimensions or pixel count. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a small crafted image declaring enormous dimensions to trigger a very large memory allocation, exhausting the JVM heap and resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-89059)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
