cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers. From 45.0.0 to before 46.0.7, if a non-contiguous buffer was passed to APIs which accepted Python buffers (e.g. Hash.update()), this could lead to buffer overflows. This vulnerability is fixed in 46.0.7.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:24761 advisory.

    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing     IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to     individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing     knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an     organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless     language.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers.
    Prior to version 46.0.6, DNS name constraints were only validated against SANs within child certificates,
    and not the "peer name" presented during each validation. Consequently, cryptography would allow a peer
    named bar.example.com to validate against a wildcard leaf certificate for *.example.com, even if the
    leaf's parent certificate (or upwards) contained an excluded subtree constraint for bar.example.com. This
    issue has been patched in version 46.0.6. (CVE-2026-34073)

  - cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers.
    From 45.0.0 to before 46.0.7, if a non-contiguous buffer was passed to APIs which accepted Python buffers
    (e.g. Hash.update()), this could lead to buffer overflows. This vulnerability is fixed in 46.0.7.
    (CVE-2026-39892)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.
