The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2024:0010 advisory.

  - A out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the xorg-x11-server. This issue occurs due to an incorrect     calculation of a buffer offset when copying data stored in the heap in the XIChangeDeviceProperty function     in Xi/xiproperty.c and in RRChangeOutputProperty function in randr/rrproperty.c, allowing for possible     escalation of privileges or denial of service. (CVE-2023-5367)

  - A flaw was found in xorg-server. Querying or changing XKB button actions such as moving from a touchpad to     a mouse can result in out-of-bounds memory reads and writes. This may allow local privilege escalation or     possible remote code execution in cases where X11 forwarding is involved. (CVE-2023-6377)

  - A flaw was found in xorg-server. A specially crafted request to RRChangeProviderProperty or     RRChangeOutputProperty can trigger an integer overflow which may lead to a disclosure of sensitive     information. (CVE-2023-6478)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
