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-2026:1789578681 advisory.

 - The ParseAddress function constructs domain-literal address components through repeated string concatenation. When parsing large domain-literal components, this can cause excessive CPU consumption.
 (CVE-2025-61725)

 - Decoding a maliciously-crafted MIME header containing many invalid encoded-words can consume excessive CPU. (CVE-2026-42504)

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