"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1738695944 advisory.

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in Samba due to insufficient length checks in
    winbindd_pam_auth_crap.c. When performing NTLM authentication, the client replies to cryptographic
    challenges back to the server. These replies have variable lengths, and Winbind fails to check the lan
    manager response length. When Winbind is used for NTLM authentication, a maliciously crafted request can
    trigger an out-of-bounds read in Winbind, possibly resulting in a crash. (CVE-2022-2127)

  - A vulnerability was found in Samba's rpcecho development server, a non-Windows RPC server used to test
    Samba's DCE/RPC stack elements. This vulnerability stems from an RPC function that can be blocked
    indefinitely. The issue arises because the rpcecho service operates with only one worker in the main RPC
    task, allowing calls to the rpcecho server to be blocked for a specified time, causing service
    disruptions. This disruption is triggered by a sleep() call in the dcesrv_echo_TestSleep() function
    under specific conditions. Authenticated users or attackers can exploit this vulnerability to make calls
    to the rpcecho server, requesting it to block for a specified duration, effectively disrupting most
    services and leading to a complete denial of service on the AD DC. The DoS affects all other services as
    rpcecho runs in the main RPC task. (CVE-2023-42669)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
