The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALSA-2022:8100 advisory.

  - swtpm is a libtpms-based TPM emulator with socket, character device, and Linux CUSE interface. Versions     prior to 0.5.3, 0.6.2, and 0.7.1 are vulnerable to out-of-bounds read. A specially crafted header of     swtpm's state, where the blobheader's hdrsize indicator has an invalid value, may cause an out-of-bounds     access when the byte array representing the state of the TPM is accessed. This will likely crash swtpm or     prevent it from starting since the state cannot be understood. Users should upgrade to swtpm v0.5.3,     v0.6.2, or v0.7.1 to receive a patch. There are currently no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-23645)
