"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1763489872 advisory.

  - runc through 1.1.4 has Incorrect Access Control leading to Escalation of Privileges, related to
    libcontainer/rootfs_linux.go. To exploit this, an attacker must be able to spawn two containers with
    custom volume-mount configurations, and be able to run custom images. NOTE: this issue exists because of a
    CVE-2019-19921 regression. (CVE-2023-27561)

  - runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification. It was found
    that AppArmor can be bypassed when `/proc` inside the container is symlinked with a specific mount
    configuration. This issue has been fixed in runc version 1.1.5, by prohibiting symlinked `/proc`. See PR
    #3785 for details. users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should avoid using an untrusted
    container image. (CVE-2023-28642)

  - Processing an incomplete post-handshake message for a QUIC connection can cause a panic. (CVE-2023-39321)

  - Before Go 1.20, the RSA based TLS key exchanges used the math/big library, which is not constant time. RSA
    blinding was applied to prevent timing attacks, but analysis shows this may not have been fully effective.
    In particular it appears as if the removal of PKCS#1 padding may leak timing information, which in turn
    could be used to recover session key bits. In Go 1.20, the crypto/tls library switched to a fully constant
    time RSA implementation, which we do not believe exhibits any timing side channels. (CVE-2023-45287)

  - A malformed DNS message in response to a query can cause the Lookup functions to get stuck in an infinite
    loop. (CVE-2024-24788)

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