Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-93323

medium Nessus Plugin ID 363301

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.

- The Dockerfile frontend loaded the Dockerfile and .dockerignore files of a build context into memory without a size limit. A build context containing an oversized file could make buildkitd allocate memory proportional to that file, potentially exhausting memory and terminating the daemon, which interrupts other builds on the same instance. Fixed by rejecting such files above 16 MiB. (CVE-2026-93323)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
