AlmaLinux 9.6 [TuxCare] Security Update: grafana / grafana-selinux Multiple Vulnerabilities (ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1788942909)

high Nessus Plugin ID 351565

Synopsis

The AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1788942909 advisory.

 - Enforce a recursion limit in Unmarshal to prevent stack exhaustion when parsing deeply-nested, recursive structures. (CVE-2026-33818)

 - Well-crafted inputs reaching ParseAddress, ParseAddressList, and ParseDate were able to trigger excessive CPU exhaustion and memory allocations. (CVE-2026-39820)

 - Pathological inputs could cause DoS through consumePhrase when parsing an email address according to RFC 5322. (CVE-2026-42499)

 - When a server is configured to support unencrypted HTTP/2, it reads a few bytes from each new connection to see if they contain the HTTP/2 client preface. ReadHeaderTimeout is unexpectedly not being applied when doing this. (CVE-2026-56853)

 - Previously, pathological inputs could close an unescaped '/' early, allowing for attack-controlled data to inject arbitrary content, potentially leading to XSS. (CVE-2026-56858)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1788942909.
