"The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
ALSA-2024:0977 advisory.
- Certain DNSSEC aspects of the DNS protocol (in RFC 4033, 4034, 4035, 6840, and related RFCs) allow remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via one or more DNSSEC responses, aka the
KeyTrap issue. One of the concerns is that, when there is a zone with many DNSKEY and RRSIG records, the
protocol specification implies that an algorithm must evaluate all combinations of DNSKEY and RRSIG
records. (CVE-2023-50387)
- The Closest Encloser Proof aspect of the DNS protocol (in RFC 5155 when RFC 9276 guidance is skipped)
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption for SHA-1 computations) via DNSSEC
responses in a random subdomain attack, aka the NSEC3 issue. The RFC 5155 specification implies that an
algorithm must perform thousands of iterations of a hash function in certain situations. (CVE-2023-50868)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
