The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A security vulnerability has been detected in tmux up to 3.6a. Affected is the function image_free of the     file image.c. Such manipulation leads to use after free. Local access is required to approach this attack.
    This attack is characterized by high complexity. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit     has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version 3.7-rc is able to address this issue.
    The name of the patch is fc6d94a9f8a593bd8b7031650802084385d4ee03. The affected component should be     upgraded. (CVE-2026-11623)

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

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-7fa12630d5 advisory.

    update to 3.7, remove upstreamed patch

    Upstream ChangeLog: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tmux/tmux/3.7/CHANGES

    CHANGES FROM 3.6b TO 3.7

    Add floating panes. These are panes which sit above the layout (tiled panes) like popups but unlike     popups are not modal and behave like panes (so the same escape sequence support). Floating panes are     created with the new-pane command, bound to * by default.
    This is an early release of this feature and they are relatively limited. Currently floating panes can     only be moved and resized using the mouse. The default second status line (if status-format is set to 2)     has changed to show a list of panes. Many obvious features are not yet available for floating panes     (notably the ability to swap floating panes, resize them using resize-pane, change them between floating     and tiles, and restore custom layouts with floating panes).

    Mostly written by Michael Grant with help from Dane Jensen; testing and fixes from others.

    Allow run-shell arguments after a shell command to be expanded as #{1}, #{2} and so on (from Rasmus     Thystrup Karstensen in issue 5121).

    Add -g to kill-session to kill all sessions in a session group (issue 5157 from github at jiku dot jp).

    Tighten up read-only checks on attach-session, detach-client and switch-client so that a user should be     able to only detach their own client (reported by John Walker).

    Increase escape delay if the buffer contains a partial paste end, fixes issues with at least Windows     Terminal (from jing dot empty at gmail.com issue 5088).

    When mode-keys is set to vi, do not allow the cursor to go into the invisible extra cell to the right of     the visible text; this is closer to what vi(1) does (from Max Vim in issue 5070).

    Add a five second limit on pasting for terminals which mysteriously lose the end sequence if the paste is     too big (that is, Terminal.app) (reported by Garri Djavadyan in issue 4527).

    Show file open errors more sensibly (reported by Meriel Luna Mittelbach in issue 5081).

    Update supported features list for Foot terminal (from Meriel Luna Mittelbach in issue 5079).

    Turn off the is this a paste guessing if the terminal supports bracket pasting instead (issue 5031).

    Check FIONREAD for all panes not just piped panes.

    Add emacs-style recentre-top-bottom command to copy mode (issue 5053 from sinyax75 at gmail dot com).

    Allow the indicator in tree mode to be customized by two new options: tree-mode-preview-format and tree-     mode-preview-style.

    Fix control client hang on exit after toggling no-output (issue 5049 from Aaron Campbell). Also various     other control mode fixes.

    Add support for line numbers in copy mode. There is a new copy-mode-line-numbers option which may be set     to off, default (tmux's normal line numbering where 0 is the top visible line), absolute (first line in     history is 1), relative (relative to the cursor) and hybrid (current line is absolute, others relative).
    Also adds copy-mode-line-number-style and copy-mode-current-line-number-style to set the style of the line     numbers. When copy mode is entered with the mouse, line numbers stay off. From Leo Henon in issue 5025.

    Make C-[ have the same bindings as Escape for terminals with extended keys where they are different (issue     5035 from Eric Nicolas).

    Sanitize paste buffer names in paste_set and paste_rename (issue 5032 from Barrett Ruth).

    Do not hang in run-shell when job_run fails (from Barrett Ruth in issue 5037).

    Add ability to forward progress bar to outside terminal (issue 4972 from Eric Dorland).

    Translate keypad keys to text in prompt input (from Barrett Ruth in issue 4996).

    Sanitize pane titles and window and session names more consistently and strictly, prevents C0 characters     and other invisible characters causing problems (reported by Chris Monardo in issue 4999).

    Make clock visible on terminals without colours (from Manuel Einfalt in issue 5001).

    Add detach to default session menu (suggested by Przemyslaw Sztoch).

    Include window format variables for pane notifications (issue 5007 from Saul Nogueras).

    Limit precision to 100 for formats to stop silly formats from running out of memory, reported by     z1281552865 at gmail dot com. Also various other similar changes, mostly found by OSS-Fuzz.

    Add WAYLAND_DISPLAY to default update-environment (issue 4965). Also some additional XDG_* variables     (issue 5169).

    Add -C flag to command-prompt to match display-message -C (do not freeze panes) (from Barrett Ruth in     issue 4978).

    Cache user from getpwuid because it can be very expensive on some platforms (from Ben Maurer in issue     4973).

    Add remain-on-exit key to keep pane around until a key is pressed (from Michael Grant).

    Add some new mouse ranges called control0 to control9 and use to add some mouse controls to the pane     state line (from Dane Jensen with some bits from Michael Grant).

    Handle OSC 9;4 progress bar sequence and store in format variables (from Eric Dorland in issue 4954).

    Correctly size buffer used for parsing clipboard sequences (from Michal Majchrowicz).

    Limit MSG_COMMAND argument to between 0 and 1000 to prevent a misbehaving client from crashing the server     (from Michal Majchrowicz).

    Reorganize host keys are represented internally so they can be built more easily (from Dane Jensen in     issue 4953).

    Add new fuzzers for command parsing, formats and styles (from David Korczynski in issue 4957). Also fix     various issues shown from these.

    Add bracket_paste_flag format flag (from George Nachman in issue 4951).

    Use - for hyphens in tmux.1 to cause newer groff versions to render them correctly (from Keith Thompson in     issue 4948).

    Various minor code improvements and fixes from Pavel Lavrukhin (issue 4936 and others).

    Use window options for cursor-style to avoid crash when no pane (from Arden Packeer in issue 4942).

    Fix issue where popup window gets overwritten by background updates (from Conor Taylor in issue 4920).

    Protect against overflow when scrollbar is off screen (from san65384 at gmail dot com in issue 4933).

    Copy hyperlinks when redrawing popup so they do not vanish (from Antoine Gaudreau Simard in issue 4925).

    Work around systemd killing panes early during system shutdown by creating dependencies from the panes to     the service which started tmux (issue 4926 from Dmitry Torokhov).

    Allow codepoint-widths to accept ranges (from san65384 at gmail dot com in issue 4930).

    Add a short builtin help text for each mode accessible with C-h (based on code from Patrick Motard in     issue 4751).

    Draw message as one format, allowing prompts and messages to occupy only a portion of the status bar,     overlaying the normal status content rather than replacing the entire line. A new message-format option     now controls the entire message (like status-format). The message-style option now need to include fill     in order to cover the whole width (the default has fill=yellow). From Conor Taylor in issue 4861.

    Add next/previous variables for windows in W: loop (from Conor Taylor in issue 4856).

    Various bug and memory leak fixes from Renaud Allard (issue 4916).

    Add pane_pipe_pid with pipe file descriptor.

    Make -c work with new-session -A (from Jody Frankowski in issue 4906).

    Allow copy mode to work for readonly clients, except for copy commands (from Dane Jensen).

    Pass paste buffer through vis(3) when pasting to prevent buffers containing for example the bracket end     sequence causing issues, a new -S flag disables (reported by Mason Davis).

    Add sorting (-O flag) and a custom format (-F) to list-keys (from Dane Jensen in issue 4845).
