"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1790844951 advisory.

  - In Flatpak before 1.18.1, the revokefs writer, used by the flatpak-system-helper to receive repository
    data from unprivileged callers, validated file paths by rejecting literal .. components but did not
    prevent symlink traversal. A malicious local user in an active local session could obtain two revokefs
    sessions via the system helper, create a symlink in one session pointing into the other session's
    directory, and retain a file descriptor through that symlink. This allowed the attacker to modify files
    belonging to a different revokefs session after they had been validated and imported by the system helper.
    In particular, an attacker could use this to tamper with ostree commit objects in the system repository
    after they passed signature verification, enabling root-controlled file writes to attacker-chosen paths
    and local root privilege escalation. (CVE-2026-96808)

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