Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-110753

medium Nessus Plugin ID 366696

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.

 - Text::CSV_XS versions from 1.46 before 1.65 for Perl have a use-after-free of bind_columns variables when skip_empty_rows skips an empty line in getline. With bind_columns, the parser writes each field into the caller's own scalar without taking a reference to it. When skip_empty_rows skips an empty last line, the parser frees the current field scalar without checking whether it is bound, dropping one reference from the application's variable. The eof mode does the same on any empty line. The variable is then freed while the application still references it, so later code uses freed memory and can crash the process.
 (CVE-2026-110753)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
