The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALSA-2024:0628 advisory.

  - The SSH transport protocol with certain OpenSSH extensions, found in OpenSSH before 9.6 and other     products, allows remote attackers to bypass integrity checks such that some packets are omitted (from the     extension negotiation message), and a client and server may consequently end up with a connection for     which some security features have been downgraded or disabled, aka a Terrapin attack. This occurs because     the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), implemented by these extensions, mishandles the handshake phase and     mishandles use of sequence numbers. For example, there is an effective attack against SSH's use of     ChaCha20-Poly1305 (and CBC with Encrypt-then-MAC). The bypass occurs in chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com and     (if CBC is used) the -etm@openssh.com MAC algorithms.
