The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2024:1131 advisory.

  - A malicious HTTP sender can use chunk extensions to cause a receiver reading from a request or response     body to read many more bytes from the network than are in the body. A malicious HTTP client can further     exploit this to cause a server to automatically read a large amount of data (up to about 1GiB) when a     handler fails to read the entire body of a request. Chunk extensions are a little-used HTTP feature which     permit including additional metadata in a request or response body sent using the chunked encoding. The     net/http chunked encoding reader discards this metadata. A sender can exploit this by inserting a large     metadata segment with each byte transferred. The chunk reader now produces an error if the ratio of real     body to encoded bytes grows too small. (CVE-2023-39326)

  - Using go get to fetch a module with the .git suffix may unexpectedly fallback to the insecure git://     protocol if the module is unavailable via the secure https:// and git+ssh:// protocols, even if     GOINSECURE is not set for said module. This only affects users who are not using the module proxy and are     fetching modules directly (i.e. GOPROXY=off). (CVE-2023-45285)

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