"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1784639752 advisory.

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the SASL I/O layer of 389 Directory Server (389-ds-base). In
    sasl_io_start_packet(), adding sizeof(uint32_t) to a crafted SASL packet length prefix of 0xFFFFFFFC
    causes unsigned wraparound to zero, bypassing the nsslapd-maxsasliosize limit and leading to a heap buffer
    overflow of up to approximately 2 megabytes of attacker-controlled data. After a successful SASL bind with
    integrity protection (SSF > 0), a remote attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or achieve Remote
    Code Execution (RCE). In FreeIPA and Red Hat Identity Management deployments, any domain user with a valid
    Kerberos ticket, enrolled host, or service account can trigger this vulnerability over the network. This
    flaw is independent of CVE-2025-14905, which patched schema.c only and did not modify sasl_io.c.
    (CVE-2026-11774)

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