"The version of gnutls 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-2025-32988 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in GnuTLS. A double-free vulnerability exists in GnuTLS due to incorrect ownership
    handling in the export logic of Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries containing an otherName. If the
    type-id OID is invalid or malformed, GnuTLS will call asn1_delete_structure() on an ASN.1 node it does not
    own, leading to a double-free condition when the parent function or caller later attempts to free the same
    structure. This vulnerability can be triggered using only public GnuTLS APIs and May result in denial of
    service or memory corruption, depending on allocator behavior. (CVE-2025-32988)

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