"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1787127601 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in sssd. When authenticating with a YubiKey, the SSSD PAM responder can crash due to a
    use-after-free vulnerability, where a memory pointer is incorrectly handled. A local attacker could
    exploit this flaw by manipulating smartcard or YubiKey contents, leading to a denial of service that
    disrupts authentication. This vulnerability also presents a potential for privilege escalation, although
    it is difficult to exploit. (CVE-2026-12610)

  - A flaw was found in the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD). The pam_passkey_child_read_data() function
    within the PAM passkey responder fails to properly handle raw bytes received from a pipe. Because the data
    is treated as a NUL-terminated C string without explicit termination, it results in an out-of-bounds read
    when processed by functions like snprintf(). A local attacker could potentially trigger this vulnerability
    by initiating a crafted passkey authentication request, causing the SSSD PAM responder to crash, resulting
    in a local Denial of Service (DoS). (CVE-2026-6245)

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