high Nessus Plugin ID 373439

Synopsis

The Rocky Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The Rocky Linux 9.6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1793215478 advisory.

- On most platforms, Go uses the given system root certificates. However, in some narrower cases, the system trust stores may not be updated without further action. To defend against the narrower set of cases that may remain affected, a denylist was added in crypto/x509 to return an error when calling Verify with any of the known intermediate certificates that are no longer considered to be trustworthy. (CVE-2026-111943)

- A malicious HTTP/2 peer can cause excessive CPU consumption in the client or server by opening a large number of streams and then sending many small SETTINGS frames containing SETTINGS_INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE values. (CVE-2026-78669)

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 delve package based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1793215478.
