"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2026:39809 advisory.

    Erlang is a general-purpose programming language and runtime environment.
    Erlang has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault
    tolerance. Erlang is used in several large telecommunication systems from
    Ericsson.

    Security Fix(es):

    * Erlang OTP public_key: Certificate chain forgery via improper trust chain
    validation (CVE-2026-42789)

    * Erlang OTP public_key: Certificate validation bypass allows hostname
    spoofing (CVE-2026-42790)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
    score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
    page listed in the References section.

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
number.");
