"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1787813016 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the libblkid library of util-linux. During nested partition probing, the BSD, Minix,
    Solaris x86, and UnixWare partition probers cache a raw pointer to a parent partition entry in a
    dynamically allocated array. When subsequent partition additions cause the array to be reallocated, this
    pointer becomes stale, leading to a heap use-after-free read. An attacker who can present a crafted block
    device image (for example, via USB insertion or a loop-mounted disk image) can trigger this flaw without
    user interaction, as libblkid is invoked automatically by udev/udisks as root on block-device hot-plug
    events. This could lead to limited information disclosure or denial of service. (CVE-2026-13595)

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