In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix potential UAF in smb2_close_cached_fid() find_or_create_cached_dir() could grab a new reference after kref_put() had seen the refcount drop to zero but before cfid_list_lock is acquired in smb2_close_cached_fid(), leading to use-after-free. Switch to kref_put_lock() so cfid_release() is called with cfid_list_lock held, closing that gap.

The remote Ubuntu 25.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8029-1 advisory.

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

An update of the linux package has been released.

The remote Oracle Linux 10 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2026-50006 advisory.

    - xfrm: delete x->tunnel as we delete x (Sabrina Dubroca)   {CVE-2025-40215}

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.

  - smb: client: fix potential UAF in smb2_close_cached_fid() find_or_create_cached_dir() could grab a new     reference after kref_put() had seen the refcount drop to zero but before cfid_list_lock is acquired in     smb2_close_cached_fid(), leading to use-after-free. Switch to kref_put_lock() so cfid_release() is called     with cfid_list_lock held, closing that gap. (CVE-2025-40328)

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