"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2026:2764 advisory.
Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations
to configure and maintain their systems without the necessity to provide
public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It
performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard
operating environments.
Security Fix(es):
* python-urllib3: urllib3 Streaming API improperly handles highly compressed data (CVE-2025-66471)
* python-urllib3: urllib3 vulnerable to decompression-bomb safeguard bypass when following HTTP redirects
(streaming API) (CVE-2026-21441)
* python-urllib3: urllib3: Unbounded decompression chain leads to resource exhaustion (CVE-2025-66418)
Bug Fix(es):
* Satellite upgrade from 6.17.5 to 6.18 failed during Pulpcore database migration due to incompatible
versions detected for some of the pulpcore plugins (SAT-41761)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
