"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1777660095 advisory.

  - Mitgation of CVE-2026-4519 was incomplete. If the URL contained %action the mitigation could be bypassed
    for certain browser types the webbrowser.open() API could have commands injected into the underlying
    shell. See CVE-2026-4519 for details. (CVE-2026-4786)

  - Use-after-free (UAF) was possible in the `lzma.LZMADecompressor`, `bz2.BZ2Decompressor`, and
    `gzip.GzipFile` when a memory allocation fails with a `MemoryError` and the decompression instance is re-
    used. This scenario can be triggered if the process is under memory pressure. The fix cleans up the
    dangling pointer in this specific error condition. The vulnerability is only present if the program re-
    uses decompressor instances across multiple decompression calls even after a `MemoryError` is raised
    during decompression. Using the helper functions to one-shot decompress data such as `lzma.decompress()`,
    `bz2.decompress()`, `gzip.decompress()`, and `zlib.decompress()` are not affected as a new decompressor
    instance is used per call. If the decompressor instance is not re-used after an error condition, this
    usage is similarly not vulnerable. (CVE-2026-6100)

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