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

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 152. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we     presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This     vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 153 and Thunderbird 153. (CVE-2026-16411)

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

The remote Fedora 44 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-7d71f89d7e advisory.

    - Update to latest upstream (153.0)

    ----

    - New upstream release (153.0)

    ----

    - Updated to latest upstream (153.0)

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

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

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the aca6684f-8aa2-11f1-a744-b42e991fc52e advisory.
