A flaw was found in the IPv6 module of the Linux kernel. The arg.result was not used consistently in fib6_rule_lookup, sometimes holding rt6_info and other times fib6_info. This was not accounted for in other parts of the code where rt6_info was expected unconditionally, potentially leading to a kernel panic in fib6_rule_suppress.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A flaw was found in the IPv6 module of the Linux kernel. The arg.result was not used consistently in     fib6_rule_lookup, sometimes holding rt6_info and other times fib6_info. This was not accounted for in     other parts of the code where rt6_info was expected unconditionally, potentially leading to a kernel panic     in fib6_rule_suppress. (CVE-2023-3022)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:1130 advisory.

    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
