In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix btrfs_ioctl_space_info() slot_count TOCTOU which can lead to info-leak btrfs_ioctl_space_info() has a TOCTOU race between two passes over the block group RAID type lists. The first pass counts entries to determine the allocation size, then the second pass fills the buffer. The groups_sem rwlock is released between passes, allowing concurrent block group removal to reduce the entry count. When the second pass fills fewer entries than the first pass counted, copy_to_user() copies the full alloc_size bytes including trailing uninitialized kmalloc bytes to userspace. Fix by copying only total_spaces entries (the actually-filled count from the second pass) instead of alloc_size bytes, and switch to kzalloc so any future copy size mismatch cannot leak heap data.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1866 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    vsock: fix buffer size clamping order (CVE-2026-46234)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    media: rc: xbox_remote: heed DMA restrictions (CVE-2026-46236)

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.

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

  - btrfs: fix btrfs_ioctl_space_info() slot_count TOCTOU which can lead to info-leak btrfs_ioctl_space_info()     has a TOCTOU race between two passes over the block group RAID type lists. The first pass counts entries     to determine the allocation size, then the second pass fills the buffer. The groups_sem rwlock is released     between passes, allowing concurrent block group removal to reduce the entry count. When the second pass     fills fewer entries than the first pass counted, copy_to_user() copies the full alloc_size bytes including     trailing uninitialized kmalloc bytes to userspace. Fix by copying only total_spaces entries (the actually-     filled count from the second pass) instead of alloc_size bytes, and switch to kzalloc so any future copy     size mismatch cannot leak heap data. (CVE-2026-46159)

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