"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1779963183 advisory.
- A flaw was found in gnutls. This vulnerability occurs because gnutls performs case-sensitive comparisons
of `nameConstraints` labels, specifically for `dNSName` (DNS) or `rfc822Name` (email) constraints within
`excludedSubtrees` or `permittedSubtrees`. A remote attacker can exploit this by crafting a leaf
certificate with casing differences in the Subject Alternative Name (SAN), leading to a policy bypass
where a certificate that should be rejected is instead accepted. This could result in unauthorized access
or information disclosure. (CVE-2026-3833)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
