"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1776763201 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in libsoup, an HTTP client library. This vulnerability, known as CRLF (Carriage Return
    Line Feed) Injection, occurs when an HTTP proxy is configured and the library improperly handles URL-
    decoded input used to create the Host header. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a specially
    crafted URL containing CRLF sequences, allowing them to inject additional HTTP headers or complete HTTP
    request bodies. This can lead to unintended or unauthorized HTTP requests being forwarded by the proxy,
    potentially impacting downstream services. (CVE-2026-1467)

  - A flaw was found in the libsoup HTTP library that can cause proxy authentication credentials to be sent to
    unintended destinations. When handling HTTP redirects, libsoup removes the Authorization header but does
    not remove the Proxy-Authorization header if the request is redirected to a different host. As a result,
    sensitive proxy credentials may be leaked to third-party servers. Applications using libsoup for HTTP
    communication may unintentionally expose proxy authentication data. (CVE-2026-1539)

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