"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1785316580 advisory.
- In PostgreSQL, a modified, unauthenticated server can send an unterminated string during the establishment
of Kerberos transport encryption. In certain conditions a server can cause a libpq client to over-read and
report an error message containing uninitialized bytes. (CVE-2022-41862)
- Use of inherently dangerous function PQfn(..., result_is_int=0, ...) in PostgreSQL libpq lo_export(),
lo_read(), lo_lseek64(), and lo_tell64() functions allows the server superuser to overwrite a client stack
buffer with an arbitrarily-large response. Like gets(), PQfn(..., result_is_int=0, ...) stores arbitrary-
length, server-determined data into a buffer of unspecified size. Because both the \lo_export command in
psql and pg_dump call lo_read(), the server superuser can overwrite pg_dump or psql stack memory. Versions
before PostgreSQL 18.4, 17.10, 16.14, 15.18, and 14.23 are affected. (CVE-2026-6477)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
