"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1784801979 advisory.

  - Squid is a caching proxy for the Web. Prior to 7.6, due to an improper validation of syntactic correctness
    of input in the FTP gateway (src/clients/FtpGateway.cc), Squid is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read:
    when a listing entry date in the TypeA or TypeB directory-listing formats is not followed by a filename,
    parsing was not restricted to the input buffer, so a trusted client accessing a misbehaving FTP server
    through Squid's gateway feature could read memory from random unrelated transactions. This issue is fixed
    in version 7.6. (CVE-2026-47729)

  - Squid is a caching proxy for the Web. Prior to 7.6, due to an improper input validation bug in cache
    digest reply handling (peerDigestSwapInMask in src/peer_digest.cc), Squid is vulnerable to a heap-based
    buffer overflow: a cache digest's on-the-wire size may be larger than the mask_size declared within the
    digest, so a trusted peer sending a maliciously crafted reply to a cache_digest request message can
    trigger the overflow. This attack is limited to Squid instances compiled with the --enable-cache-digests
    option and configured with cache_peer entries. This issue is fixed in version 7.6. (CVE-2026-50012)

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