In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/vmware: Fix hypercall clobbers Fedora QA reported the following panic: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000040003e54 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS edk2-20251119-3.fc43 11/19/2025 RIP: 0010:vmware_hypercall4.constprop.0+0x52/0x90 .. Call Trace: vmmouse_report_events+0x13e/0x1b0 psmouse_handle_byte+0x15/0x60 ps2_interrupt+0x8a/0xd0 ... because the QEMU VMware mouse emulation is buggy, and clears the top 32 bits of %rdi that the kernel kept a pointer in. The QEMU vmmouse driver saves and restores the register state in a "uint32_t data[6];" and as a result restores the state with the high bits all cleared. RDI originally contained the value of a valid kernel stack address (0xff5eeb3240003e54). After the vmware hypercall it now contains 0x40003e54, and we get a page fault as a result when it is dereferenced. The proper fix would be in QEMU, but this works around the issue in the kernel to keep old setups working, when old kernels had not happened to keep any state in %rdi over the hypercall. In theory this same issue exists for all the hypercalls in the vmmouse driver; in practice it has only been seen with vmware_hypercall3() and vmware_hypercall4(). For now, just mark RDI/RSI as clobbered for those two calls. This should have a minimal effect on code generation overall as it should be rare for the compiler to want to make RDI/RSI live across hypercalls.

(CVE-2026-23224)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: split cached_fid     bitfields to avoid shared-byte RMW races is_open, has_lease and on_list are stored in the same bitfield     byte in struct cached_fid but are updated in different code paths that may run concurrently. Bitfield     assignments generate byte read-modify-write operations (e.g. `orb $mask, addr` on x86_64), so updating one     flag can restore stale values of the others. A possible interleaving is: CPU1: load old byte (has_lease=1,     on_list=1) CPU2: clear both flags (store 0) CPU1: RMW store (old | IS_OPEN) -> reintroduces cleared bits     To avoid this class of races, convert these flags to separate bool fields.

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.

  - x86/vmware: Fix hypercall clobbers Fedora QA reported the following panic: BUG: unable to handle page     fault for address: 0000000040003e54 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) -     not-present page Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS edk2-20251119-3.fc43 11/19/2025     RIP: 0010:vmware_hypercall4.constprop.0+0x52/0x90 .. Call Trace: vmmouse_report_events+0x13e/0x1b0     psmouse_handle_byte+0x15/0x60 ps2_interrupt+0x8a/0xd0 ... because the QEMU VMware mouse emulation is     buggy, and clears the top 32 bits of %rdi that the kernel kept a pointer in. The QEMU vmmouse driver saves     and restores the register state in a uint32_t data[6]; and as a result restores the state with the high     bits all cleared. RDI originally contained the value of a valid kernel stack address (0xff5eeb3240003e54).
    After the vmware hypercall it now contains 0x40003e54, and we get a page fault as a result when it is     dereferenced. The proper fix would be in QEMU, but this works around the issue in the kernel to keep old     setups working, when old kernels had not happened to keep any state in %rdi over the hypercall. In theory     this same issue exists for all the hypercalls in the vmmouse driver; in practice it has only been seen     with vmware_hypercall3() and vmware_hypercall4(). For now, just mark RDI/RSI as clobbered for those two     calls. This should have a minimal effect on code generation overall as it should be rare for the compiler     to want to make RDI/RSI live across hypercalls. (CVE-2026-23215)

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