Fix for Denial of Service issue in nmap for Fedora 44 addressing CVE-2026-58058 vulnerabilities.
Fix CVE-2026-58058 (rhbz#2494410)

Summary

Nmap is a utility for network exploration or security auditing. It supports

ping scanning (determine which hosts are up), many port scanning techniques

(determine what services the hosts are offering), and TCP/IP fingerprinting

(remote host operating system identification). Nmap also offers flexible target

and port specification, decoy scanning, determination of TCP sequence

predictability characteristics, reverse-identd scanning, and more. In addition

to the classic command-line nmap executable, the Nmap suite includes a flexible

data transfer, redirection, and debugging tool (netcat utility ncat), a utility

for comparing scan results (ndiff), and a packet generation and response

analysis tool (nping).
