Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux 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.

  - ptp: Add a upper bound on max_vclocks syzbot reported WARNING in max_vclocks_store. This occurs when the     argument max is too large for kcalloc to handle. Extend the guard to guard against values that are too     large for kcalloc (CVE-2025-40057)

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 ALAS2023-2025-1254 advisory.
