The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALSA-2021:4201 advisory.

  • Babel.Locale in Babel before 2.9.1 allows attackers to load arbitrary locale .dat files (containing serialized Python objects) via directory traversal, leading to code execution. (CVE-2021-42771)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
