"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1772455449 advisory.

  - The net/url package does not set a limit on the number of query parameters in a query. While the maximum
    size of query parameters in URLs is generally limited by the maximum request header size, the
    net/http.Request.ParseForm method can parse large URL-encoded forms. Parsing a large form containing many
    unique query parameters can cause excessive memory consumption. (CVE-2025-61726)

  - Within HostnameError.Error(), when constructing an error string, there is no limit to the number of hosts
    that will be printed out. Furthermore, the error string is constructed by repeated string concatenation,
    leading to quadratic runtime. Therefore, a certificate provided by a malicious actor can result in
    excessive resource consumption. (CVE-2025-61729)

  - During session resumption in crypto/tls, if the underlying Config has its ClientCAs or RootCAs fields
    mutated between the initial handshake and the resumed handshake, the resumed handshake may succeed when it
    should have failed. This may happen when a user calls Config.Clone and mutates the returned Config, or
    uses Config.GetConfigForClient. This can cause a client to resume a session with a server that it would
    not have resumed with during the initial handshake, or cause a server to resume a session with a client
    that it would not have resumed with during the initial handshake. (CVE-2025-68121)

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