"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1775739369 advisory.
- Unchecked Error Condition vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. If Tomcat is configured to use a custom Jakarta
Authentication (formerly JASPIC) ServerAuthContext component which may throw an exception during the
authentication process without explicitly setting an HTTP status to indicate failure, the authentication
may not fail, allowing the user to bypass the authentication process. There are no known Jakarta
Authentication components that behave in this way. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1
through 11.0.0-M26, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.30, from 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.95. The following versions
were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are known to be affected: 8.5.0 though 8.5.100. Other EOL
versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0, 10.1.31 or 9.0.96,
which fix the issue. (CVE-2024-52316)
- Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity vulnerability in Apache Tomcat's GCI servlet allows security
constraint bypass of security constraints that apply to the pathInfo component of a URI mapped to the CGI
servlet. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.6, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.40,
from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.104. The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are
known to be affected: 8.5.0 though 8.5.100. Other, older, EOL versions may also be affected. Users are
recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.7, 10.1.41 or 9.0.105, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-46701)
- Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. Tomcat did
not escape ANSI escape sequences in log messages. If Tomcat was running in a console on a Windows
operating system, and the console supported ANSI escape sequences, it was possible for an attacker to use
a specially crafted URL to inject ANSI escape sequences to manipulate the console and the clipboard and
attempt to trick an administrator into running an attacker controlled command. While no attack vector was
found, it may have been possible to mount this attack on other operating systems. This issue affects
Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.10, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.44, from 9.0.40 through
9.0.108. The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are known to be affected:
8.5.60 though 8.5.100. Other, older, EOL versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to upgrade
to version 11.0.11 or later, 10.1.45 or later or 9.0.109 or later, which fix the issue. (CVE-2025-55754)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
