"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1792206152 advisory.

  - Podman is a tool for managing OCI containers and pods. From 4.4.0 until 5.8.8 and 6.1.3, podman run treats
    an image carrying the io.podman.annotations.checkpoint.runtime.name annotation as a checkpoint and
    silently ignores user-supplied container creation restrictions such as --cap-drop=ALL, allowing image-
    controlled checkpoint state to select weaker sandbox settings and capabilities. Rootless containers are
    not affected because checkpoint and restore are unavailable in that mode. This issue is fixed in versions
    5.8.8 and 6.1.3. (CVE-2026-94603)

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