"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2026:5445 advisory.

    Valkey is an advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can
    contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets.  You can run atomic operations on these types, like
    appending to a string; incrementing the value in a hash; pushing to a list; computing set intersection,
    union and difference; or getting the member with highest ranking in a sorted set.  In order to achieve its
    outstanding performance, Valkey works with an in-memory dataset. Depending on your use case, you can
    persist it either by dumping the dataset to disk every once in a while, or by appending each command to a
    log.  Valkey also supports trivial-to-setup master-slave replication, with very fast non-blocking first
    synchronization, auto-reconnection on net split and so forth.  Other features include Transactions,
    Pub/Sub, Lua scripting, Keys with a limited time-to-live, and configuration settings to make Valkey behave
    like a cache.  You can use Valkey from most programming languages also.

    Security Fix(es):

    * Valkey: Valkey: Data tampering and denial of service via improper null character handling in Lua scripts
    (CVE-2025-67733)

    * valkey: Valkey: Denial of Service via invalid clusterbus packet (CVE-2026-21863)

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