"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1788856994 advisory.

  - A heap out-of-bounds read flaw was found in libsoup. When parsing multipart HTTP messages, an integer type
    mismatch between the caller and soup_headers_parse() can cause the length parameter to be incorrectly
    truncated, leading to a heap buffer over-read. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash an
    application using libsoup or potentially disclose heap memory contents. (CVE-2026-12548)

  - A flaw was found in libsoup. An unsigned integer underflow in the soup_filter_input_stream_read_until()
    function causes a heap buffer over-read when parsing multipart HTTP responses. A malicious HTTP server can
    exploit this by sending a crafted multipart response, potentially causing the client application to crash
    or disclose sensitive heap memory. (CVE-2026-66337)

  - A flaw was found in libsoup. The chunked transfer encoding parser uses a permissive parsing function for
    chunk sizes that silently accepts inputs violating RFC 9112, including leading whitespace, plus sign
    prefixes, and trailing invalid characters. When libsoup operates behind a strict frontend proxy, this
    parsing differential can be exploited to smuggle HTTP requests. (CVE-2026-66338)

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