"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1778129164 advisory.

  - Envoy is a cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy. Envoy's HTTP/2 codec may leak a header
    map and bookkeeping structures upon receiving `RST_STREAM` immediately followed by the `GOAWAY` frames
    from an upstream server. In nghttp2, cleanup of pending requests due to receipt of the `GOAWAY` frame
    skips de-allocation of the bookkeeping structure and pending compressed header. The error return [code
    path] is taken if connection is already marked for not sending more requests due to `GOAWAY` frame. The
    clean-up code is right after the return statement, causing memory leak. Denial of service through memory
    exhaustion. This vulnerability was patched in versions(s) 1.26.3, 1.25.8, 1.24.9, 1.23.11.
    (CVE-2023-35945)

  - nghttp2 is an implementation of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol version 2 in C. Prior to version 1.68.1,
    the nghttp2 library stops reading the incoming data when user facing public API
    `nghttp2_session_terminate_session` or `nghttp2_session_terminate_session2` is called by the application.
    They might be called internally by the library when it detects the situation that is subject to connection
    error. Due to the missing internal state validation, the library keeps reading the rest of the data after
    one of those APIs is called. Then receiving a malformed frame that causes FRAME_SIZE_ERROR causes
    assertion failure. nghttp2 v1.68.1 adds missing state validation to avoid assertion failure. No known
    workarounds are available. (CVE-2026-27135)

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