"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1775224602 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in GnuTLS. This vulnerability allows a denial of service (DoS) by excessive CPU (Central
    Processing Unit) and memory consumption via specially crafted malicious certificates containing a large
    number of name constraints and subject alternative names (SANs). (CVE-2025-14831)

  - A flaw was found in the GnuTLS library, specifically in the gnutls_pkcs11_token_init() function that
    handles PKCS#11 token initialization. When a token label longer than expected is processed, the function
    writes past the end of a fixed-size stack buffer. This programming error can cause the application using
    GnuTLS to crash or, in certain conditions, be exploited for code execution. As a result, systems or
    applications relying on GnuTLS may be vulnerable to a denial of service or local privilege escalation
    attacks. (CVE-2025-9820)

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