"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1791530000 advisory.

  - A remote, unauthenticated TLS client can make a server crash or call through a freed pointer if its
    sni_callback assigns a different context to SSLSocket.context (the documented way to select a certificate
    per server name) and nothing else keeps the original ssl.SSLContext alive. Typical cases are servers that
    create an SSLContext per connection or replace it while connections are open; servers that wrap their
    listening socket with it are not affected. Mitigation: keep a reference to every SSLContext that sets
    sni_callback for the lifetime of the server. TLS clients are not affected. (CVE-2026-19445)

  - ssl.SSLContext.wrap_bio() didn't require the server_hostname argument to not be None if
    ssl.SSLContext.check_hostname was set. Due to a missing parameter check in SSLObject, if the
    server_hostname argument isn't supplied then hostname verification would be silently skipped. This defect
    could lead to programs where certificate hostname verification *appeared* to be succeeding with
    SSLContext.check_hostname = True and no ValueError being raised due to misconfiguration. If the program
    passes a server_hostname value that isn't an empty string or None to any of these APIs then certificate
    hostname verification proceeds as expected and the program is not affected by this vulnerability.
    Mitigating this vulnerability doesn't require updating Python or applying the patch. To mitigate, pass a
    valid non-None and non-empty server_hostname value to SSLContext.wrap_bio(), asyncio.create_connection(),
    or asyncio.loop.start_tls() and certificate hostname verification will proceed as expected. Upgrading to
    the latest version of Python or applying the patch only changes the behavior from silently skipping
    hostname verification to raising a ValueError, similar to SSLContext.wrap_socket(), when server_hostname
    isn't supplied. (CVE-2026-19553)

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