"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1761673460 advisory.
- A double free vulnerability was found in QEMU virtio devices (virtio-gpu, virtio-serial-bus, virtio-
crypto), where the mem_reentrancy_guard flag insufficiently protects against DMA reentrancy issues. This
issue could allow a malicious privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a
denial of service or allow arbitrary code execution within the context of the QEMU process on the host.
(CVE-2024-3446)
- A flaw was found in the QEMU disk image utility (qemu-img) 'info' command. A specially crafted image file
containing a `json:{}` value describing block devices in QMP could cause the qemu-img process on the host
to consume large amounts of memory or CPU time, leading to denial of service or read/write to an existing
external file. (CVE-2024-4467)
- A flaw was found in the QEMU NBD Server. This vulnerability allows a denial of service (DoS) attack via
improper synchronization during socket closure when a client keeps a socket open as the server is taken
offline. (CVE-2024-7409)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
