The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 11.0.1.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-11.0.1.8 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in gnutls. Servers configured with RSA-PSK (RivestShamirAdleman  Pre-Shared Key)     wrongfully matched usernames containing a NUL character with truncated usernames. A remote attacker could     exploit this by sending a specially crafted username, leading to an authentication bypass. This     vulnerability allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access by circumventing the authentication process.
    (CVE-2026-42010)

  - Issue summary: Applications using RSASVE key encapsulation to establish a secret encryption key can send     contents of an uninitialized memory buffer to a malicious peer. Impact summary: The uninitialized buffer     might contain sensitive data from the previous execution of the application process which leads to     sensitive data leakage to an attacker. RSA_public_encrypt() returns the number of bytes written on success     and -1 on error. The affected code tests only whether the return value is non-zero. As a result, if RSA     encryption fails, encapsulation can still return success to the caller, set the output lengths, and leave     the caller to use the contents of the ciphertext buffer as if a valid KEM ciphertext had been produced. If     applications use EVP_PKEY_encapsulate() with RSA/RSASVE on an attacker-supplied invalid RSA public key     without first validating that key, then this may cause stale or uninitialized contents of the caller-     provided ciphertext buffer to be disclosed to the attacker in place of the KEM ciphertext. As a workaround     calling EVP_PKEY_public_check() or EVP_PKEY_public_check_quick() before EVP_PKEY_encapsulate() will     mitigate the issue. The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.1 and 3.0 are affected by this issue.
    (CVE-2026-31790)

  - Calling the scanf family of functions with a %mc (malloc'd character match) in the GNU C Library version     2.7 to version 2.43 with a format width specifier with an explicit width greater than 1024 could result in     a one byte heap buffer overflow. (CVE-2026-5450)

  - An issue was discovered in xmllint (from libxml2) before 2.11.8 and 2.12.x before 2.12.7. Formatting error     messages with xmllint --htmlout can result in a buffer over-read in xmlHTMLPrintFileContext in xmllint.c.
    (CVE-2024-34459)

  - A flaw in GnuTLS DTLS handshake parsing allows malformed fragments with zero length and non-zero offset,     leading to an integer underflow during reassembly and resulting in an out-of-bounds read. This issue is     remotely exploitable and may cause information disclosure or denial of service. (CVE-2026-33845)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:2458-1 advisory.

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

    A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in the DNSSEC validation of dnsmasq allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service via a crafted DNS packet.(CVE-2026-4890)

    A heap-based out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the DHCPv6 implementation of dnsmasq allows local     attackers to execute arbitrary code with root privileges via a crafted DHCPv6 packet.(CVE-2026-4892)

    A heap-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the DNSSEC validation of dnsmasq allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service via a crafted DNS packet.(CVE-2026-4891)

    An information disclosure vulnerability in dnsmasq allows remote attackers to bypass source checks via a     crafted DNS packet with RFC 7871 client subnet information.(CVE-2026-4893)
