In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arp: do not assume dev_hard_header() does not change skb->head arp_create() is the only dev_hard_header() caller making assumption about skb->head being unchanged. A recent commit broke this assumption. Initialize @arp pointer after dev_hard_header() call.

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.

An update of the linux package has been released.

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: arp: do not assume dev_hard_header()     does not change skb->head arp_create() is the only dev_hard_header() caller making assumption about     skb->head being unchanged. A recent commit broke this assumption. Initialize @arp pointer after     dev_hard_header() call. (CVE-2026-22988)

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