The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2024:6670 advisory.

* rexml: rubygem-rexml: DoS when parsing an XML having many specific characters such as whitespace     character, >] and ]> (CVE-2024-41123)
* rexml: DoS vulnerability in REXML (CVE-2024-41946)
* rexml: DoS vulnerability in REXML (CVE-2024-43398)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the AlmaLinux security advisory.

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