In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: cfg80211: ocb: don't leave if not joined If there's no OCB state, don't ask the driver/mac80211 to leave, since that's just confusing. Since set/clear the chandef state, that's a simple check.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:0473-1 advisory.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

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.

  - wifi: cfg80211: ocb: don't leave if not joined If there's no OCB state, don't ask the driver/mac80211 to     leave, since that's just confusing. Since set/clear the chandef state, that's a simple check.
    (CVE-2023-53992)

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