high Nessus Plugin ID 372475

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-2026:1793106858 advisory.

- Allocation of resources without limits or throttling (CWE-770) during Java object deserialization in Google Guava versions 4.0 through 33.7.1 allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service via OutOfMemoryError. When deserializing CompactHashMap, CompactHashSet, or MapMakerInternalMap instances, Guava eagerly allocates an array based on a caller-specified size parameter without throttling, permitting memory exhaustion from crafted serialization streams. (CVE-2026-102554)

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-2026:1793106858.
