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 libsoup, a library for handling HTTP requests. This vulnerability, known as a Use-     After-Free, occurs in the HTTP/2 server implementation. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending     specially crafted HTTP/2 requests that cause authentication failures. This can lead to the application     attempting to access memory that has already been freed, potentially causing application instability or     crashes, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). (CVE-2026-4271)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:19143 advisory.

    Libsoup is an HTTP library implementation in C. It was originally part of a SOAP (Simple Object Access     Protocol) implementation called Soup, but the SOAP and non-SOAP parts have now been split into separate     packages.  libsoup uses the Glib main loop and is designed to work well with GTK applications. This     enables GNOME applications to access HTTP servers on the network in a completely asynchronous fashion,     very similar to the Gtk+ programming model (a synchronous operation mode is also supported for those who     want it), but the SOAP parts were removed long ago.

    Security Fix(es):

    * libsoup: libsoup: Denial of Service via Use-After-Free in HTTP/2 server (CVE-2026-4271)

    * libsoup: libsoup: Information disclosure via cleartext transmission of cookies during HTTPS tunnel     establishment (CVE-2026-5119)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
