The remote host is running BIND 9.11.x through 9.19.x and 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.15-S1, which is affected by a cache-cleaning algorithm vulnerability (CVE-2023-2828)

"The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
ALSA-2023:4102 advisory.

  - Every `named` instance configured to run as a recursive resolver maintains a cache database holding the
    responses to the queries it has recently sent to authoritative servers. The size limit for that cache
    database can be configured using the `max-cache-size` statement in the configuration file; it defaults to
    90% of the total amount of memory available on the host. When the size of the cache reaches 7/8 of the
    configured limit, a cache-cleaning algorithm starts to remove expired and/or least-recently used RRsets
    from the cache, to keep memory use below the configured limit. It has been discovered that the
    effectiveness of the cache-cleaning algorithm used in `named` can be severely diminished by querying the
    resolver for specific RRsets in a certain order, effectively allowing the configured `max-cache-size`
    limit to be significantly exceeded. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.16.41, 9.18.0
    through 9.18.15, 9.19.0 through 9.19.13, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.16.41-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.15-S1.
