    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for
    building, deploying and managing IT automation at scale. IT Managers can
    provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to individual
    teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that
    leverage existing knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation
    Platform makes it possible for users across an organization to share, vet,
    and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless
    language.

    Security Fix(es):

    * receptor: net/http: Denial of Service via excessive HTTP/2 SETTINGS
    frames (CVE-2026-78669)
    * receptor: golang: Denial of Service via crafted HTTP Range headers
    (CVE-2026-78667)
    * receptor: crypto/tls: Denial of Service via multiple ECH outer extension
    references (CVE-2026-97031)

    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.

    For details about this release, refer to the release notes 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.");
