Synopsis

The AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1786553851 advisory.

- APR-util versions 1.6.3 (and earlier) function apr_password_validate() was not constant-time with regards to hashes or passwords comparisons, potentially leaking their content via a side channel timing attack particularly on platforms without crypt() such as Windows, BeOS, NetWare, or Android. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.6.4, which fixes this issue. (CVE-2025-49506)

- A bug in APR-util version 1.6.3 (and earlier) allows a stack recursion attack against any library consumer which parses XML from untrusted sources and uses the apr_xml_quote_elem() function. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.6.4, which fixes this issue. (CVE-2026-32327)

- Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Apache Portable Runtime Utility redis client. This issue affects Apache Portable Runtime Utility: from 1.6.0 through 1.6.3. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.6.4, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-34501)

- Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Apache Portable Runtime Utility memcached client This issue affects Apache Portable Runtime Utility: from 1.3.0 through 1.6.3. (CVE-2026-34502)

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 ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1786553851.
