"The CentOS Linux 8.4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
CENTOS8.4:CLSA-2026:1785327397 advisory.
- NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_charset_module module. When content
is served or proxied through a location block with both source_charset utf-8; and a charset directive (for
example, charset koi8-r;) configured, remote, unauthenticated attackers can send requests (in conjunction
with conditions beyond their control) to cause a heap buffer over-read in the NGINX worker process,
leading to limited disclosure of memory or a restart. Note: Software versions which have reached End of
Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated. (CVE-2026-48142)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
