"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1789640442 advisory.

  - The ToASCII and ToUnicode functions incorrectly accept Punycode-encoded labels that decode to an ASCII-
    only label. For example, ToUnicode(xn--example-.com) incorrectly returns the name example.com rather
    than an error. This behavior can lead to privilege escalation in programs using the idna package. For
    example, a program which performs privilege checks on the ASCII hostname may reject example.com but
    permit xn--example-.com. If that program subsequently converts the ASCII hostname to Unicode, it will
    inadvertently permits access to the Unicode name example.com. (CVE-2026-39821)
