There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that process PNG (Portable Network Graphics) raster
    image files. In version 1.8.0, three inter-frame chunk discard paths in the push-mode APNG parser clear
    the chunk-header flag without consuming the chunk body and CRC, allowing attacker-controlled bytes inside
    an ignored ancillary chunk to be reinterpreted as a fresh chunk header on the next call to
    `png_process_data`. Commit faf06924688b62d7c1654b5ceddedbde66ffadb4 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-40930)

The version of firefox installed on the remote host is prior to 140.11.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2FIREFOX-2026-061 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.

  - LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that process PNG (Portable Network Graphics) raster     image files. In version 1.8.0, three inter-frame chunk discard paths in the push-mode APNG parser clear     the chunk-header flag without consuming the chunk body and CRC, allowing attacker-controlled bytes inside     an ignored ancillary chunk to be reinterpreted as a fresh chunk header on the next call to     `png_process_data`. Commit faf06924688b62d7c1654b5ceddedbde66ffadb4 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-40930)

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