"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1763647564 advisory.

  - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the X.Org server. This issue can be triggered when a
    device frozen by a sync grab is reattached to a different master device. This issue may lead to an
    application crash, local privilege escalation (if the server runs with extended privileges), or remote
    code execution in SSH X11 forwarding environments. (CVE-2024-0229)

  - A flaw was found in the X.Org server. The cursor code in both Xephyr and Xwayland uses the wrong type of
    private at creation. It uses the cursor bits type with the cursor as private, and when initiating the
    cursor, that overwrites the XSELINUX context. (CVE-2024-0409)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The root cursor is referenced in the X server as a
    global variable. If a client frees the root cursor, the internal reference points to freed memory and
    causes a use-after-free. (CVE-2025-26594)

  - A buffer overflow flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. If XkbChangeTypesOfKey() is called with a 0 group,
    it will resize the key symbols table to 0 but leave the key actions unchanged. If the same function is
    later called with a non-zero value of groups, this will cause a buffer overflow because the key actions
    are of the wrong size. (CVE-2025-26597)

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