In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: check for nEPT/nNPT in slow flush hypercalls Checking is_guest_mode(vcpu) is incorrect, because translate_nested_gpa() is only valid if an L2 guest is running *with nested EPT/NPT enabled*. Instead use the same condition as translate_nested_gpa() itself.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - KVM: x86: check for nEPT/nNPT in slow flush hypercalls Checking is_guest_mode(vcpu) is incorrect, because     translate_nested_gpa() is only valid if an L2 guest is running *with nested EPT/NPT enabled*. Instead use     the same condition as translate_nested_gpa() itself. (CVE-2026-46131)

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

    udf: reject descriptors with oversized CRC length

    udf_read_tagged() skips CRC verification when descCRCLength +sizeof(struct tag) exceeds the block size.  A     crafted UDF image canset descCRCLength to an oversized value to bypass CRC validationentirely; the     descriptor is then accepted based solely on the 8-bittag checksum, which is trivially recomputable.

    Reject such descriptors instead of silently accepting them.  Alegitimate single-block descriptor should     never have a CRC length thatexceeds the block. (CVE-2026-53369)

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
