"The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
ALSA-2023:5460 advisory.

  - The code that processes control channel messages sent to `named` calls certain functions recursively
    during packet parsing. Recursion depth is only limited by the maximum accepted packet size; depending on
    the environment, this may cause the packet-parsing code to run out of available stack memory, causing
    `named` to terminate unexpectedly. Since each incoming control channel message is fully parsed before its
    contents are authenticated, exploiting this flaw does not require the attacker to hold a valid RNDC key;
    only network access to the control channel's configured TCP port is necessary. This issue affects BIND 9
    versions 9.2.0 through 9.16.43, 9.18.0 through 9.18.18, 9.19.0 through 9.19.16, 9.9.3-S1 through
    9.16.43-S1, and 9.18.0-S1 through 9.18.18-S1. (CVE-2023-3341)

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