"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
ALINUX3-SA-2026:0178 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-9064:
    A flaw was found in 389-ds-base. The get_ldapmessage_controls_ext() function in the LDAP server does not
    enforce an upper bound on the number of controls per LDAP message. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can
    send a specially crafted LDAP request containing hundreds of thousands of minimal controls within the
    default maximum BER message size (2 MB), causing excessive CPU consumption and heap allocation on the
    server. Under concurrent exploitation, this leads to significant latency degradation, worker thread
    starvation, or out-of-memory termination, resulting in a denial of service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
