The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2022:2008 advisory.

  - Cockpit (and its plugins) do not seem to protect itself against clickjacking. It is possible to render a     page from a cockpit server via another website, inside an <iFrame> HTML entry. This may be used by a     malicious website in clickjacking or similar attacks. (CVE-2021-3660)

  - A flaw was found in Cockpit in versions prior to 260 in the way it handles the certificate verification     performed by the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD). This flaw allows client certificates to     authenticate successfully, regardless of the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) configuration or the     certificate status. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality. (CVE-2021-3698)
