The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1762171389 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: add EXT4_IGET_BAD flag to     prevent unexpected bad inode There are many places that will get unhappy (and crash) when ext4_iget()     returns a bad inode. However, if iget the boot loader inode, allows a bad inode to be returned, because     the inode may not be initialized. This mechanism can be used to bypass some checks and cause panic. To     solve this problem, we add a special iget flag EXT4_IGET_BAD. Only with this flag we'd be returning bad     inode from ext4_iget(), otherwise we always return the error code if the inode is bad inode.(suggested by     Jan Kara) (CVE-2022-50485)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: seqiv - Handle EBUSY correctly     As it is seqiv only handles the special return value of EINPROGERSS, which means that in all other cases     it will free data related to the request. However, as the caller of seqiv may specify MAY_BACKLOG, we also     need to expect EBUSY and treat it in the same way. Otherwise backlogged requests will trigger a use-after-     free. (CVE-2023-53373)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/radeon: free iio for atombios when     driver shutdown Fix below kmemleak when unload radeon driver: unreferenced object 0xffff9f8608ede200 (size     512): comm systemd-udevd, pid 326, jiffies 4294682822 (age 716.338s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00     00 c4 aa ec aa 14 ab 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00     ................ backtrace: [<0000000062fadebe>] kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x2f1/0x500 [<00000000b6883cea>]     atom_parse+0x117/0x230 [radeon] [<00000000158c23fd>] radeon_atombios_init+0xab/0x170 [radeon]     [<00000000683f672e>] si_init+0x57/0x750 [radeon] [<00000000566cc31f>] radeon_device_init+0x559/0x9c0     [radeon] [<0000000046efabb3>] radeon_driver_load_kms+0xc1/0x1a0 [radeon] [<00000000b5155064>]     drm_dev_register+0xdd/0x1d0 [<0000000045fec835>] radeon_pci_probe+0xbd/0x100 [radeon] [<00000000e69ecca3>]     pci_device_probe+0xe1/0x160 [<0000000019484b76>] really_probe.part.0+0xc1/0x2c0 [<000000003f2649da>]

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: processor: Check for null return     of devm_kzalloc() in fch_misc_setup() devm_kzalloc() may fail, clk_data->name might be NULL and will cause     a NULL pointer dereference later. [ rjw: Subject and changelog edits ] (CVE-2023-53483)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/swap: fix swap_info_struct race     between swapoff and get_swap_pages() The si->lock must be held when deleting the si from the available     list. Otherwise, another thread can re-add the si to the available list, which can lead to memory     corruption. The only place we have found where this happens is in the swapoff path. This case can be     described as below: core 0 core 1 swapoff del_from_avail_list(si) waiting try lock si->lock acquire     swap_avail_lock and re-add si into swap_avail_head acquire si->lock but missing si already being added     again, and continuing to clear SWP_WRITEOK, etc. It can be easily found that a massive warning messages     can be triggered inside get_swap_pages() by some special cases, for example, we call madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT)     on blocks of touched memory concurrently, meanwhile, run much swapon-swapoff operations (e.g. stress-ng-     swap). However, in the worst case, panic can be caused by the above scene. In swapoff(), the memory used     by si could be kept in swap_info[] after turning off a swap. This means memory corruption will not be     caused immediately until allocated and reset for a new swap in the swapon path. A panic message caused:

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

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

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: processor: Check for null return     of devm_kzalloc() in fch_misc_setup() devm_kzalloc() may fail, clk_data->name might be NULL and will cause     a NULL pointer dereference later. [ rjw: Subject and changelog edits ] (CVE-2023-53483)

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-228 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    binder: fix UAF of alloc->vma in race with munmap() (CVE-2022-50240)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    binder: fix UAF of alloc->vma in race with munmap() (CVE-2022-50338)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking subsystem within the RPL protocol's handling. This issue     results from the improper handling of user-supplied data, which can lead to an assertion failure. This     flaw allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to create a denial of service condition on the system.
    (CVE-2023-2156)

    A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ipvlan network driver can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    The out-of-bounds write is caused by missing skb->cb  initialization in the ipvlan network driver. The     vulnerability is reachable if CONFIG_IPVLAN is enabled.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 90cbed5247439a966b645b34eb0a2e037836ea8e. (CVE-2023-3090)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in vcs_read in drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c in vc_screen in the Linux     Kernel. In this flaw an attacker with local user access may lead to a system crash or a leak of internal     kernel information. (CVE-2023-3567)

    An issue was discovered in fl_set_geneve_opt in net/sched/cls_flower.c in the Linux kernel before 6.3.7.
    It allows an out-of-bounds write in the flower classifier code via TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_OPTS_GENEVE packets.
    This may result in denial of service or privilege escalation. (CVE-2023-35788)
