"The Rocky Linux 9.6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1782832840 advisory.
- During chain building, the amount of work that is done is not correctly limited when a large number of
intermediate certificates are passed in VerifyOptions.Intermediates, which can lead to a denial of
service. This affects both direct users of crypto/x509 and users of crypto/tls. (CVE-2026-32280)
- Validating certificate chains which use policies is unexpectedly inefficient when certificates in the
chain contain a very large number of policy mappings, possibly causing denial of service. This only
affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains, issued by a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots
CertPool, or in the system certificate pool. (CVE-2026-32281)
- If one side of the TLS connection sends multiple key update messages post-handshake in a single record,
the connection can deadlock, causing uncontrolled consumption of resources. This can lead to a denial of
service. This only affects TLS 1.3. (CVE-2026-32283)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
