Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-94300

high Nessus Plugin ID 370035

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.

 - Replaying GSS-TSIG signed UDP messages can result in memory corruption in `named`. An attacker who can capture a previously signed UDP message can replay it while the negotiated TSIG key is still valid. By also sending crafted queries to a zone the attacker controls, the attacker may potentially achieve remote code execution. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.29, 9.21.0 through 9.21.26, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.29-S1. (CVE-2026-94300)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
