"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1760021057 advisory.
- tpm2-tss is an open source software implementation of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Trusted Platform
Module (TPM) 2 Software Stack (TSS2). In versions prior to 4.1.0-rc0, 4.0.1, and 3.2.2-rc1,
`Tss2_RC_SetHandler` and `Tss2_RC_Decode` both index into `layer_handler` with an 8 bit layer number, but
the array only has `TPM2_ERROR_TSS2_RC_LAYER_COUNT` entries, so trying to add a handler for higher-
numbered layers or decode a response code with such a layer number reads/writes past the end of the
buffer. This Buffer overrun, could result in arbitrary code execution. An example attack would be a MiTM
bus attack that returns 0xFFFFFFFF for the RC. Given the common use case of TPM modules an attacker must
have local access to the target machine with local system privileges which allows access to the TPM
system. Usually TPM access requires administrative privilege. Versions 4.1.0-rc0, 4.0.1, and 3.2.2-rc1 fix
the issue. (CVE-2023-22745)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
