"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1777365744 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in libarchive. An Undefined Behavior vulnerability exists in the zisofs decompression
    logic, caused by improper validation of a field (`pz_log2_bs`) read from ISO9660 Rock Ridge extensions. A
    remote attacker can exploit this by supplying a specially crafted ISO file. This can lead to incorrect
    memory allocation and potential application crashes, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.
    (CVE-2026-4426)

  - A flaw was found in libarchive. On 32-bit systems, an integer overflow vulnerability exists in the zisofs
    block pointer allocation logic. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a specially crafted
    ISO9660 image, which can lead to a heap buffer overflow. This could potentially allow for arbitrary code
    execution on the affected system. (CVE-2026-5121)

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