In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: appletalk: Fix device refcount leak in atrtr_create() When updating an existing route entry in atrtr_create(), the old device reference was not being released before assigning the new device, leading to a device refcount leak. Fix this by calling dev_put() to release the old device reference before holding the new one.

The remote Ubuntu Pro FIPS-updates 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7775-1 advisory.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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.

  - net: appletalk: Fix device refcount leak in atrtr_create() When updating an existing route entry in     atrtr_create(), the old device reference was not being released before assigning the new device, leading     to a device refcount leak. Fix this by calling dev_put() to release the old device reference before     holding the new one. (CVE-2025-38542)

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