In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: apparmor: fix side-effect bug in match_char() macro usage The match_char() macro evaluates its character parameter multiple times when traversing differential encoding chains. When invoked with *str++, the string pointer advances on each iteration of the inner do-while loop, causing the DFA to check different characters at each iteration and therefore skip input characters. This results in out-of-bounds reads when the pointer advances past the input buffer boundary.

photon_os PHSA-2026-4.0-1002: Unknown PhotonOS Security Updated

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8201-1 advisory.

    Qualys discovered that several vulnerabilities existed in the AppArmor Linux kernel Security Module (LSM).
    An unprivileged local attacker could use these issues to load, replace, and remove arbitrary AppArmor     profiles causing denial of service, exposure of sensitive information (kernel memory), local privilege     escalation, or possibly escape a container.

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 remote Ubuntu Pro FIPS-updates 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8163-1 advisory.

    Qualys discovered that several vulnerabilities existed in the AppArmor Linux kernel Security Module (LSM).
    An unprivileged local attacker could use these issues to load, replace, and remove arbitrary AppArmor     profiles causing denial of service, exposure of sensitive information (kernel memory), local privilege     escalation, or possibly escape a container. (LP: #2143853, CVE-2026-23268, CVE-2026-23269, CVE-2026-23403,     CVE-2026-23404, CVE-2026-23405, CVE-2026-23406, CVE-2026-23407, CVE-2026-23408, CVE-2026-23409,     CVE-2026-23410, CVE-2026-23411)

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.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: apparmor: fix side-effect bug in     match_char() macro usage The match_char() macro evaluates its character parameter multiple times when     traversing differential encoding chains. When invoked with *str++, the string pointer advances on each     iteration of the inner do-while loop, causing the DFA to check different characters at each iteration and     therefore skip input characters. This results in out-of-bounds reads when the pointer advances past the     input buffer boundary.
