"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1785455561 advisory.

  - A vulnerability was found in LibTIFF up to 4.7.0. It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this
    vulnerability is the function t2p_read_tiff_init of the file tools/tiff2pdf.c of the component fax2ps. The
    manipulation leads to null pointer dereference. The attack needs to be approached locally. The complexity
    of an attack is rather high. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The patch is named
    2ebfffb0e8836bfb1cd7d85c059cd285c59761a4. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.
    (CVE-2024-13978)

  - A flaw has been found in LibTIFF 4.7.0. This affects the function
    _TIFFmallocExt/_TIFFCheckRealloc/TIFFHashSetNew/InitCCITTFax3 of the file tools/tiffcmp.c of the component
    tiffcmp. Executing manipulation can lead to memory leak. The attack is restricted to local execution. This
    attack is characterized by high complexity. It is indicated that the exploitability is difficult. The
    exploit has been published and may be used. There is ongoing doubt regarding the real existence of this
    vulnerability. This patch is called ed141286a37f6e5ddafb5069347ff5d587e7a4e0. It is best practice to apply
    a patch to resolve this issue. A researcher disputes the security impact of this issue, because this is a
    memory leak on a command line tool that is about to exit anyway. In the reply the project maintainer
    declares this issue as a simple 'bug' when leaving the command line tool and (...) not a security issue
    at all. (CVE-2025-9165)

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