The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2024:0387 advisory.

  - In PHP 8.0.X before 8.0.28, 8.1.X before 8.1.16 and 8.2.X before 8.2.3, password_verify() function may     accept some invalid Blowfish hashes as valid. If such invalid hash ever ends up in the password database,     it may lead to an application allowing any password for this entry as valid. (CVE-2023-0567)

  - In PHP 8.0.X before 8.0.28, 8.1.X before 8.1.16 and 8.2.X before 8.2.3, core path resolution function     allocate buffer one byte too small. When resolving paths with lengths close to system MAXPATHLEN setting,     this may lead to the byte after the allocated buffer being overwritten with NUL value, which might lead to     unauthorized data access or modification. (CVE-2023-0568)

  - In PHP 8.0.X before 8.0.28, 8.1.X before 8.1.16 and 8.2.X before 8.2.3, excessive number of parts in HTTP     form upload can cause high resource consumption and excessive number of log entries. This can cause denial     of service on the affected server by exhausting CPU resources or disk space. (CVE-2023-0662)

  - In PHP versions 8.0.* before 8.0.29, 8.1.* before 8.1.20, 8.2.* before 8.2.7 when using SOAP HTTP Digest     Authentication, random value generator was not checked for failure, and was using narrower range of values     than it should have. In case of random generator failure, it could lead to a disclosure of 31 bits of     uninitialized memory from the client to the server, and it also made easier to a malicious server to guess     the client's nonce. (CVE-2023-3247)

  - In PHP versions 8.0.* before 8.0.30, 8.1.* before 8.1.22, and 8.2.* before 8.2.8 various XML functions     rely on libxml global state to track configuration variables, like whether external entities are loaded.
    This state is assumed to be unchanged unless the user explicitly changes it by calling appropriate     function. However, since the state is process-global, other modules - such as ImageMagick - may also use     this library within the same process, and change that global state for their internal purposes, and leave     it in a state where external entities loading is enabled. This can lead to the situation where external     XML is parsed with external entities loaded, which can lead to disclosure of any local files accessible to     PHP. This vulnerable state may persist in the same process across many requests, until the process is shut     down. (CVE-2023-3823)

  - In PHP version 8.0.* before 8.0.30, 8.1.* before 8.1.22, and 8.2.* before 8.2.8, when loading phar file,     while reading PHAR directory entries, insufficient length checking may lead to a stack buffer overflow,     leading potentially to memory corruption or RCE. (CVE-2023-3824)

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