The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALSA-2023:7465 advisory.

  • Squid is vulnerable to Denial of Service attack against HTTP and HTTPS clients due to an Improper Handling of Structural Elements bug. (CVE-2023-5824)

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