AlmaLinux 9.2 [TuxCare] Security Update: python-unversioned-command / python3 / python3-debug / etc (ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1791403199)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 363947

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-2026:1791403199 advisory.

 - The stringprep module didn't process characters from RFC 3454 tables B.2 or B.3 correctly: the latest Unicode codepoint attributes were used instead of the specified Unicode 3.2.0. This behavior would cause mismatches when processing domain names using IDNA 2003 (the idna codec) and the in_table_b2() function of the stringprep module. This only affects domain names containing characters that were not previously registered or had their Unicode attributes such as case-folding behavior updated since Unicode 3.2.0.
 (CVE-2026-17084)

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-2026:1791403199.
