The remote Fedora 44 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-519446405a advisory.

    Update to latest upstream

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

  - An attacker might be able to trick DNSdist into allocating too much memory while processing DNS over QUIC     or DNS over HTTP/3 payloads, resulting in a denial of service. In setups with a large quantity of memory     available this usually results in an exception and the QUIC connection is properly closed, but in some     cases the system might enter an out-of-memory state instead and terminate the process. (CVE-2026-24030)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:1618-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2026-24029: disabled option on a DNS over HTTPS nghttp2 frontend allows clients to bypass ACLs and     send DoH       queries (bsc#1261239).

    - CVE-2026-27854: crafted DNS queries sent to a DNSdist using the `DNSQuestion:getEDNSOptions` method in     custom Lua       code can lead to a use-after-free (bsc#1261241).
