ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1774859936 advisory.

  - Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. Tomcat did not limit HTTP/0.9 requests to the
    GET method. If a security constraint was configured to allow HEAD requests to a URI but deny GET requests,
    the user could bypass that constraint on GET requests by sending a (specification invalid) HEAD request
    using HTTP/0.9. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.14, from 10.1.0-M1 through
    10.1.49, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.112. Older, EOL versions are also affected. Users are recommended to
    upgrade to version 11.0.15 or later, 10.1.50 or later or 9.0.113 or later, which fixes the issue.
    (CVE-2026-24733)

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