"The version of python-idna / python-pip / python3 / tensorflow installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to
tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-3651 advisory.

  - A vulnerability was identified in the kjd/idna library, specifically within the `idna.encode()` function,
    affecting version 3.6. The issue arises from the function's handling of crafted input strings, which can
    lead to quadratic complexity and consequently, a denial of service condition. This vulnerability is
    triggered by a crafted input that causes the `idna.encode()` function to process the input with
    considerable computational load, significantly increasing the processing time in a quadratic manner
    relative to the input size. (CVE-2024-3651)

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