"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1776857230 advisory.

  - The 32-bit implementation of NGINX Open Source has a vulnerability in the ngx_http_mp4_module module,
    which might allow an attacker to over-read or over-write NGINX worker memory resulting in its termination,
    using a specially crafted MP4 file. The issue only affects 32-bit NGINX Open Source if it is built with
    the ngx_http_mp4_module module and the mp4 directive is used in the configuration file. Additionally, the
    attack is possible only if an attacker can trigger the processing of a specially crafted MP4 file with the
    ngx_http_mp4_module module. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are
    not evaluated. (CVE-2026-27784)

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