The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0552 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2025-40909:
    Perl threads have a working directory race condition where file operations may target unintended paths.

    If a directory handle is open at thread creation, the process-wide current working directory is     temporarily changed in order to clonethat handle for the new thread, which is visible from any third     (ormore) thread already running.

    This may lead to unintended operationssuch as loading code or accessing files from unexpected     locations,which a local attacker may be able to exploit.

    The bug was introduced in commit11a11ecf4bea72b17d250cfb43c897be1341861e and released in Perl version     5.13.6

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

According to the versions of the perl packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    Perl threads have a working directory race condition where file operations may target unintended paths.

    If a directory handle is open at thread creation, the process-wide current working directory is     temporarily changed in order to clonethat handle for the new thread, which is visible from any third     (ormore) thread already running.

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 15.x prior to 15.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - This issue was addressed with additional entitlement checks. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7,     macOS Sonoma 14.8, macOS Tahoe 26. An app may be able to access sensitive user data. (CVE-2025-43308)

  - A buffer-overread issue was discovered in StringIO 3.0.1, as distributed in Ruby 3.0.x through 3.0.6 and     3.1.x through 3.1.4. The ungetbyte and ungetc methods on a StringIO can read past the end of a string, and     a subsequent call to StringIO.gets may return the memory value. 3.0.3 is the main fixed version; however,     for Ruby 3.0 users, a fixed version is stringio 3.0.1.1, and for Ruby 3.1 users, a fixed version is     stringio 3.0.1.2. (CVE-2024-27280)

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7, macOS Sonoma     14.8, macOS Tahoe 26. An app may be able to access sensitive user data. (CVE-2025-24197)

  - An authorization issue was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in iOS 26 and     iPadOS 26, macOS Sequoia 15.7, macOS Sonoma 14.8, macOS Tahoe 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26. An app may be able     to access sensitive user data. (CVE-2025-31255)

  - A privacy issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.5, macOS     Sequoia 15.7, macOS Sonoma 14.8, macOS Tahoe 26. An app may be able to capture a screenshot of an app     entering or exiting full screen mode. (CVE-2025-31259)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the operating system's self-reported version number.

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.10.1.10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.10.1.10 advisory.

  - There exists a vulnerability in SQLite versions before 3.50.2 where the number of aggregate terms could     exceed the number of columns available. This could lead to a memory corruption issue. We recommend     upgrading to version 3.50.2 or above. (CVE-2025-6965)

  - Perl threads have a working directory race condition where file operations may target unintended paths. If     a directory handle is open at thread creation, the process-wide current working directory is temporarily     changed in order to clone that handle for the new thread, which is visible from any third (or more) thread     already running. This may lead to unintended operations such as loading code or accessing files from     unexpected locations, which a local attacker may be able to exploit. The bug was introduced in commit     11a11ecf4bea72b17d250cfb43c897be1341861e and released in Perl version 5.13.6 (CVE-2025-40909)

  - The regcomp function in the GNU C library version from 2.4 to 2.41 is subject to a double free if some     previous allocation fails. It can be accomplished either by a malloc failure or by using an interposed     malloc that injects random malloc failures. The double free can allow buffer manipulation depending of how     the regex is constructed. This issue affects all architectures and ABIs supported by the GNU C library.
    (CVE-2025-8058)

  - Requests is a HTTP library. Due to a URL parsing issue, Requests releases prior to 2.32.4 may leak .netrc     credentials to third parties for specific maliciously-crafted URLs. Users should upgrade to version 2.32.4     to receive a fix. For older versions of Requests, use of the .netrc file can be disabled with     `trust_env=False` on one's Requests Session. (CVE-2024-47081)

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-4538 advisory.

    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------     Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4538-1                debian-lts@lists.debian.org     https://www.debian.org/lts/security/                      Sylvain Beucler     April 18, 2026                                https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package        : perl     Version        : 5.32.1-4+deb11u5     CVE ID         : CVE-2025-40909     Debian Bug     : 1098226

    Vincent Lefvre discovered that, in the Perl programming language, at     thread creation the current directory may temporarily change in other     threads, altering file accesses. Under some conditions, a local     attacker may leverage this to access unauthorized data or even inject     arbitrary code.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version     5.32.1-4+deb11u5.

    We recommend that you upgrade your perl packages.

    For the detailed security status of perl please refer to     its security tracker page at:

The remote RockyLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RLSA-2026:8096 advisory.

    * perl: Perl threads have a working directory race condition where file operations may target unintended     paths (CVE-2025-40909)

The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to AHV-10.3.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-10.3.0.2 advisory.

  - There exists a vulnerability in SQLite versions before 3.50.2 where the number of aggregate terms could     exceed the number of columns available. This could lead to a memory corruption issue. We recommend     upgrading to version 3.50.2 or above. (CVE-2025-6965)

  - LZ4 before 1.9.2 has a heap-based buffer overflow in LZ4_write32 (related to LZ4_compress_destSize),     affecting applications that call LZ4_compress_fast with a large input. (This issue can also lead to data     corruption.) NOTE: the vendor states only a few specific / uncommon usages of the API are at risk.
    (CVE-2019-17543)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in libxml2. This issue occurs when parsing XPath elements under     certain circumstances when the XML schematron has the <sch:name path=.../> schema elements. This flaw     allows a malicious actor to craft a malicious XML document used as input for libxml, resulting in the     program's crash using libxml or other possible undefined behaviors. (CVE-2025-49794)

  - A vulnerability was found in libxml2. Processing certain sch:name elements from the input XML file can     trigger a memory corruption issue. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious XML input file that     can lead libxml to crash, resulting in a denial of service or other possible undefined behavior due to     sensitive data being corrupted in memory. (CVE-2025-49796)

  - A flaw was found in libxml2's xmlBuildQName function, where integer overflows in buffer size calculations     can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow. This issue can result in memory corruption or a denial of     service when processing crafted input. (CVE-2025-6021)
