"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1784133121 advisory.
- During chain building, the amount of work that is done is not correctly limited when a large number of
intermediate certificates are passed in VerifyOptions.Intermediates, which can lead to a denial of
service. This affects both direct users of crypto/x509 and users of crypto/tls. (CVE-2026-32280)
- When adding a key to a remote agent constraint extensions such as [email protected]
were not serialized in the request. Destination restrictions were silently stripped when forwarding keys,
allowing unrestricted use of the key on the remote host. The client now serializes all constraint
extensions. Additionally, the in-memory keyring returned by NewKeyring() now rejects keys with unsupported
constraint extensions instead of silently ignoring them. (CVE-2026-39832)
- SSH servers which use CertChecker as a public key callback without setting IsUserAuthority or
IsHostAuthority could be caused to panic by a client presenting a certificate. CertChecker now returns an
error instead of panicking when these callbacks are nil. (CVE-2026-39835)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
