"The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
ALSA-2022:7323 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in python. In algorithms with quadratic time complexity using non-binary bases, when
    using int(text), a system could take 50ms to parse an int string with 100,000 digits and 5s for
    1,000,000 digits (float, decimal, int.from_bytes(), and int() for binary bases 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 are not
    affected). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-10735)

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