"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1779368985 advisory.
- A flaw was found in OpenSC packages that allow a potential PIN bypass. When a token/card is authenticated
by one process, it can perform cryptographic operations in other processes when an empty zero-length pin
is passed. This issue poses a security risk, particularly for OS logon/screen unlock and for small,
permanently connected tokens to computers. Additionally, the token can internally track login status. This
flaw allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access, carry out malicious actions, or compromise the system
without the user's awareness. (CVE-2023-40660)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
