"The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
CENTOS7:CLSA-2026:1770820922 advisory.

  - Issue summary: Processing a malformed PKCS#12 file can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in the
    PKCS12_item_decrypt_d2i_ex() function. Impact summary: A NULL pointer dereference can trigger a crash
    which leads to Denial of Service for an application processing PKCS#12 files. The
    PKCS12_item_decrypt_d2i_ex() function does not check whether the oct parameter is NULL before
    dereferencing it. When called from PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata() with a malformed PKCS#12 file, this parameter
    can be NULL, causing a crash. The vulnerability is limited to Denial of Service and cannot be escalated to
    achieve code execution or memory disclosure. Exploiting this issue requires an attacker to provide a
    malformed PKCS#12 file to an application that processes it. For that reason the issue was assessed as Low
    severity according to our Security Policy. The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected
    by this issue, as the PKCS#12 implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. OpenSSL 3.6,
    3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.0, 1.1.1 and 1.0.2 are vulnerable to this issue. (CVE-2025-69421)

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