In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mana: Null service_wq on setup error to prevent double destroy In mana_gd_setup() error path, set gc->service_wq to NULL after destroy_workqueue() to match the cleanup in mana_gd_cleanup(). This prevents a use-after-free if the workqueue pointer is checked after a failed setup.

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.

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: net/mana: Null service_wq on setup     error to prevent double destroy In mana_gd_setup() error path, set gc->service_wq to NULL after     destroy_workqueue() to match the cleanup in mana_gd_cleanup(). This prevents a use-after-free if the     workqueue pointer is checked after a failed setup. (CVE-2026-43440)

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