"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1738266573 advisory.
- An infinite loop vulnerability was found in Samba's mdssvc RPC service for Spotlight. When parsing
Spotlight mdssvc RPC packets sent by the client, the core unmarshalling function sl_unpack_loop() did not
validate a field in the network packet that contains the count of elements in an array-like structure. By
passing 0 as the count value, the attacked function will run in an endless loop consuming 100% CPU. This
flaw allows an attacker to issue a malformed RPC request, triggering an infinite loop, resulting in a
denial of service condition. (CVE-2023-34966)
- A Type Confusion vulnerability was found in Samba's mdssvc RPC service for Spotlight. When parsing
Spotlight mdssvc RPC packets, one encoded data structure is a key-value style dictionary where the keys
are character strings, and the values can be any of the supported types in the mdssvc protocol. Due to a
lack of type checking in callers of the dalloc_value_for_key() function, which returns the object
associated with a key, a caller may trigger a crash in talloc_get_size() when talloc detects that the
passed-in pointer is not a valid talloc pointer. With an RPC worker process shared among multiple client
connections, a malicious client or attacker can trigger a process crash in a shared RPC mdssvc worker
process, affecting all other clients this worker serves. (CVE-2023-34967)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
