"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1752089153 advisory.

  - Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. A specially crafted Lua script executing in Redis
    can trigger a heap overflow in the cjson library, and result with heap corruption and potentially remote
    code execution. The problem exists in all versions of Redis with Lua scripting support, starting from 2.6,
    and affects only authenticated and authorized users. The problem is fixed in versions 7.0.12, 6.2.13, and
    6.0.20. (CVE-2022-24834)

  - Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. An authenticated user may use a
    specially crafted Lua script to trigger a stack buffer overflow in the bit library, which may potentially
    lead to remote code execution. The problem exists in all versions of Redis with Lua scripting. This
    problem has been fixed in Redis versions 6.2.16, 7.2.6, and 7.4.1. Users are advised to upgrade. There are
    no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-31449)

  - Redis is an open source, in-memory database that persists on disk. An authenticated user may use a
    specially crafted Lua script to manipulate the garbage collector and potentially lead to remote code
    execution. The problem is fixed in 7.4.2, 7.2.7, and 6.2.17. An additional workaround to mitigate the
    problem without patching the redis-server executable is to prevent users from executing Lua scripts. This
    can be done using ACL to restrict EVAL and EVALSHA commands. (CVE-2024-46981)

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