"The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
ALSA-2023:1592 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in X.Org Server Overlay Window. A Use-After-Free may lead to local privilege escalation.
    If a client explicitly destroys the compositor overlay window (aka COW), the Xserver would leave a
    dangling pointer to that window in the CompScreen structure, which will trigger a use-after-free later.
    (CVE-2023-1393)
