AlmaLinux 9.2 [TuxCare] Security Update: colord / colord-devel / colord-devel-docs / colord-extra-profiles / etc (ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1776761965)

high Nessus Plugin ID 361306

Synopsis

The AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1776761965 advisory.

 - There are two Information Disclosure vulnerabilities in colord, and they lie in colord/src/cd-device-db.c and colord/src/cd-profile-db.c separately. They exist because the 'err_msg' of 'sqlite3_exec' is not releasing after use, while libxml2 emphasizes that the caller needs to release it. (CVE-2021-42523)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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-2026:1776761965.
