The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.10 / 26.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8435-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Squid incorrectly handled FTP gateway processing under certain circumstances, which     could result in an out-of-bounds read. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Squid to crash,     resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-47729)

    It was discovered that Squid incorrectly handled cache digest processing under certain circumstances,     which could result in a heap-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Squid     to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-50012)

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

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

  - Squid is a caching proxy for the Web. Prior to 7.6, due to an improper validation of syntactic correctness     of input in the FTP gateway (src/clients/FtpGateway.cc), Squid is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read:
    when a listing entry date in the TypeA or TypeB directory-listing formats is not followed by a filename,     parsing was not restricted to the input buffer, so a trusted client accessing a misbehaving FTP server     through Squid's gateway feature could read memory from random unrelated transactions. This issue is fixed     in version 7.6. (CVE-2026-47729)

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

The remote Debian 13 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6360 advisory.
