"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1778674879 advisory.

  - A vulnerability was found in OpenSC, OpenSC tools, PKCS#11 module, minidriver, and CTK. An attacker could
    use a crafted USB Device or Smart Card, which would present the system with a specially crafted response
    to APDUs. When buffers are partially filled with data, initialized parts of the buffer can be incorrectly
    accessed. (CVE-2024-45619)

  - OpenSC is an open source smart card tools and middleware. Prior to version 0.27.0, an attacker with
    physical access to the computer at the time user or administrator uses a token can cause a stack-buffer-
    overflow write in GET RESPONSE. The attack requires crafted USB device or smart card that would present
    the system with specially crafted responses to the APDUs. This issue has been patched in version 0.27.0.
    (CVE-2025-49010)

  - OpenSC is an open source smart card tools and middleware. Prior to version 0.27.0, feeding a crafted input
    to the fuzz_pkcs15_reader harness causes OpenSC to perform an out-of-bounds heap read in the X.509/SPKI
    handling path. Specifically, sc_pkcs15_pubkey_from_spki_fields() allocates a zero-length buffer and then
    reads one byte past the end of that allocation. This issue has been patched in version 0.27.0.
    (CVE-2025-66037)

  - OpenSC is an open source smart card tools and middleware. Prior to version 0.27.0, sc_compacttlv_find_tag
    searches a compact-TLV buffer for a given tag. In compact-TLV, a single byte encodes the tag (high nibble)
    and value length (low nibble). With a 1-byte buffer {0x0A}, the encoded element claims tag=0 and length=10
    but no value bytes follow. Calling sc_compacttlv_find_tag with search tag 0x00 returns a pointer equal to
    buf+1 and outlen=10 without verifying that the claimed value length fits within the remaining buffer. In
    cases where the sc_compacttlv_find_tag is provided untrusted data (such as being read from cards/files),
    attackers may be able to influence it to return out-of-bounds pointers leading to downstream memory
    corruption when subsequent code tries to dereference the pointer. This issue has been patched in version
    0.27.0. (CVE-2025-66038)

  - OpenSC is an open source smart card tools and middleware. Prior to version 0.27.0, an attacker with
    physical access to the computer at the time user or administrator uses a token can cause a stack-buffer-
    overflow WRITE in card-oberthur. The attack requires crafted USB device or smart card that would present
    the system with specially crafted responses to the APDUs. This issue has been patched in version 0.27.0.
    (CVE-2025-66215)

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