The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1779707025 advisory.

  - Client use of server error message in PostgreSQL allows a server not trusted under current SSL or GSS     settings to furnish arbitrary non-NUL bytes to the libpq application. For example, a man-in-the-middle     attacker could send a long error message that a human or screen-scraper user of psql mistakes for valid     query results. This is probably not a concern for clients where the user interface unambiguously indicates     the boundary between one error message and other text. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14,     13.17, and 12.21 are affected. (CVE-2024-10977)

  - Integer wraparound in multiple PostgreSQL server features allows an unprivileged database user to cause     the server to undersize an allocation and write out-of-bounds. This may execute arbitrary code as the     operating system user running the database. In applications that pass gigabyte-scale user inputs to the     relevant database functions, the application input provider may achieve a segmentation fault. Versions     before PostgreSQL 18.4, 17.10, 16.14, 15.18, and 14.23 are affected. (CVE-2026-6473)

  - Externally-controlled format string in PostgreSQL timeofday() function allows an attacker to retrieve     portions of server memory, via crafted timezone zones. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.4, 17.10, 16.14,     15.18, and 14.23 are affected. (CVE-2026-6474)

  - Symlink following in PostgreSQL pg_basebackup plain format and in pg_rewind allows an origin superuser to     overwrite local files, e.g. /var/lib/postgres/.bashrc, that hijack the operating system account. It will     remain the case that starting the server after these commands implicitly trusts the origin superuser, due     to features like shared_preload_libraries. Hence, the attack has practical implications only if one takes     relevant action between these commands and server start, like moving the files to a different VM or     snapshotting the VM. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.4, 17.10, 16.14, 15.18, and 14.23 are affected.
    (CVE-2026-6475)

  - Use of inherently dangerous function PQfn(..., result_is_int=0, ...) in PostgreSQL libpq lo_export(),     lo_read(), lo_lseek64(), and lo_tell64() functions allows the server superuser to overwrite a client stack     buffer with an arbitrarily-large response. Like gets(), PQfn(..., result_is_int=0, ...) stores arbitrary-     length, server-determined data into a buffer of unspecified size. Because both the \lo_export command in     psql and pg_dump call lo_read(), the server superuser can overwrite pg_dump or psql stack memory. Versions     before PostgreSQL 18.4, 17.10, 16.14, 15.18, and 14.23 are affected. (CVE-2026-6477)

The version of AIX installed on the remote host is prior to APAR IJ59564. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the IJ59564 advisory.

  - IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5, and 9.0 and IBM WebSphere Application Server - Liberty Continuous     delivery has a flaw in the ORB component in IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition, may allow a malicious IIOP     server to induce loading and instantation of arbitrary classes. (CVE-2026-8400)

  - IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service     due to a stack-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2026-18828)

  - IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due     to a stack-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2026-16872, CVE-2026-17122, CVE-2026-17138)

  - IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due     to a stack buffer overflow. (CVE-2026-16841, CVE-2026-16862, CVE-2026-16864, CVE-2026-16885,     CVE-2026-16894, CVE-2026-16913, CVE-2026-17157)

  - IBM AIX 7.2, and 7.3 and IBM PowerVM VIOS 4.1 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due     to a use-after-free vulnerability. (CVE-2026-17118)
