The Rocky Linux 9.6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1789464832 advisory.

  - 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)

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

  - Previously, DecodeElement would reset the depth counter causing it to never fire; this could lead to stack     exhaustion. (CVE-2026-56859)

  - Previously, resolving relative paths containing parent directory ('..') segments performed string     conversions and buffer rewrites on each step, resulting in quadratic time complexity and high memory     allocation overhead. Now, path resolution operates on a byte buffer using index-based backtracking for     '..' segments, eliminating the quadratic time complexity and significantly reducing memory allocations.
    (CVE-2026-56860)

  - Handshake messages, such as KeyUpdate, are always considered as state-advancing, regardless of whether a     handshake has been completed or not. As a result, a malicious client can keep sending KeyUpdate messages     to force the server to keep performing key derivation operations indefinitely. (CVE-2026-56862)

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