AlmaLinux 9.6 [TuxCare] Security Update: python-unversioned-command / python3 / python3-debug / etc Multiple Vulnerabilities (ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1774022191)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 352679

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-2026:1774022191 advisory.

 - The imaplib module, when passed a user-controlled command, can have additional commands injected using newlines. Mitigation rejects commands containing control characters. (CVE-2025-15366)

 - The poplib module, when passed a user-controlled command, can have additional commands injected using newlines. Mitigation rejects commands containing control characters. (CVE-2025-15367)

 - User-controlled header names and values containing newlines can allow injecting HTTP headers.
 (CVE-2026-0865)

 - The email module, specifically the BytesGenerator class, didn't properly quote newlines for email headers when serializing an email message allowing for header injection when an email is serialized. This is only applicable if using LiteralHeader writing headers that don't respect email folding rules, the new behavior will reject the incorrectly folded headers in BytesGenerator. (CVE-2026-1299)

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-2026:1774022191.
