"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1788535576 advisory.

  - tar-rs is a tar archive reading/writing library for Rust. In versions 0.4.44 and below, when unpacking a
    tar archive, the tar crate's unpack_dir function uses fs::metadata() to check whether a path that already
    exists is a directory. Because fs::metadata() follows symbolic links, a crafted tarball containing a
    symlink entry followed by a directory entry with the same name causes the crate to treat the symlink
    target as a valid existing directory  and subsequently apply chmod to it. This allows an attacker to
    modify the permissions of arbitrary directories outside the extraction root. This issue has been fixed in
    version 0.4.45. (CVE-2026-33056)

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