Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-115456

critical Nessus Plugin ID 374245

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 gcc. An attacker could cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by passing a string that is not null-terminated to the std::from_chars() function in the libstdc++ library. This issue triggers an out-of- bounds read beyond the allocated buffer, potentially leading to invalid data parsing or an application crash. (CVE-2026-115456)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
