"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1781088266 advisory.
- OpenSC before 0.27.0, fixed in commit 0358817, contains a stack and heap buffer overrun vulnerability in
the do_key_value() function in src/pkcs15init/profile.c that allows attackers to corrupt memory by
supplying a crafted profile configuration file. During pkcs15-init invocation, a key value entry beginning
with '=' followed by more than sizeof(keybuf) characters is copied into keybuf via memcpy without a length
check, causing both stack and heap buffer overruns. (CVE-2026-40528)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
