"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1792517219 advisory.
- Squid is a caching proxy for the Web. From 3.3.0.1 to before 7.6, due to an improper enforcement of
behavioral workflow bug, Squid is vulnerable to a Request Smuggling attack against HTTP/1.1 Transfer-
Encoding. HTTP header parsing (`src/HttpHeader.cc`) accepted the bare` Transfer-Encoding:` identity form,
which the HTTP specification prohibits because any transfer coding must be wrapped within chunked
encoding. This problem allows a trusted client to perform an HTTP Request Smuggling attack when HTTP/1.1
is used, bypassing security mechanisms that may be in place between attacker and Squid. When there is an
HTTP cache operating prior to the affected Squid, this Request Smuggling attack also allows the attacker
to poison that web cache and store arbitrary malicious content at any URL for delivery to other clients'
future requests. This issue is fixed in version 7.6. (CVE-2026-61642)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
