"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1740132708 advisory.

  - Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux.
    Versions prior to 1.10.8, 1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4 contain a vulnerability similar to CVE-2017-5226, but
    using the `TIOCLINUX` ioctl command instead of `TIOCSTI`. If a Flatpak app is run on a Linux virtual
    console such as `/dev/tty1`, it can copy text from the virtual console and paste it into the command
    buffer, from which the command might be run after the Flatpak app has exited. Ordinary graphical terminal
    emulators like xterm, gnome-terminal and Konsole are unaffected. This vulnerability is specific to the
    Linux virtual consoles `/dev/tty1`, `/dev/tty2` and so on. A patch is available in versions 1.10.8,
    1.12.8, 1.14.4, and 1.15.4. As a workaround, don't run Flatpak on a Linux virtual console. Flatpak is
    primarily designed to be used in a Wayland or X11 graphical environment. (CVE-2023-28100)

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