The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2024:6975 advisory.
* python: incorrect IPv4 and IPv6 private ranges (CVE-2024-4032)
* cpython: python: email module doesn't properly quotes newlines in email headers, allowing header injection (CVE-2024-6923)
* python: cpython: tarfile: ReDos via excessive backtracking while parsing header values (CVE-2024-6232)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the AlmaLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
