Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-88366

critical Nessus Plugin ID 350268

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.

- NanoSVG commit 239e102ec contains an incorrect numeric conversion vulnerability in nsvg__pathArcTo() when parsing SVG arc commands. A specially crafted SVG document containing extreme arc radius values can cause intermediate arc calculations to produce a NaN delta angle. The function subsequently converts this NaN value to int without validating that it is finite and representable, resulting in undefined behavior and process termination, leading to denial of service. (CVE-2026-88366)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
