"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1779097389 advisory.
- A stack based buffer overflow was found in the virtio-net device of QEMU. This issue occurs when flushing
TX in the virtio_net_flush_tx function if guest features VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT, VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 and
VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF are enabled. This could allow a malicious user to overwrite local variables
allocated on the stack. Specifically, the `out_sg` variable could be used to read a part of process memory
and send it to the wire, causing an information leak. (CVE-2023-6693)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
