    It was discovered that there was a potential arbitrary code execution     in pdfminer, a tool for extracting information from PDF documents. A     malicious, zipped pickle file could have contained code that might     have been executed when the PDF was processed.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version     20200726-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pdfminer packages.

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

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

  - Pdfminer.six is a community maintained fork of the original PDFMiner, a tool for extracting information     from PDF documents. Prior to version 20251107, pdfminer.six will execute arbitrary code from a malicious     pickle file if provided with a malicious PDF file. The `CMapDB._load_data()` function in pdfminer.six uses     `pickle.loads()` to deserialize pickle files. These pickle files are supposed to be part of the     pdfminer.six distribution stored in the `cmap/` directory, but a malicious PDF can specify an alternative     directory and filename as long as the filename ends in `.pickle.gz`. A malicious, zipped pickle file can     then contain code which will automatically execute when the PDF is processed. Version 20251107 fixes the     issue. (CVE-2025-64512)

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

The remote Fedora 42 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-4686d11563 advisory.
