In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/amd: Fix clone_alias() to use the original device's devid Currently clone_alias() assumes first argument (pdev) is always the original device pointer. This function is called by pci_for_each_dma_alias() which based on topology decides to send original or alias device details in first argument. This meant that the source devid used to look up and copy the DTE may be incorrect, leading to wrong or stale DTE entries being propagated to alias device. Fix this by passing the original pdev as the opaque data argument to both the direct clone_alias() call and pci_for_each_dma_alias(). Inside clone_alias(), retrieve the original device from data and compute devid from it.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:3044-1 advisory.

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.

  - iommu/amd: Fix clone_alias() to use the original device's devid Currently clone_alias() assumes first     argument (pdev) is always the original device pointer. This function is called by pci_for_each_dma_alias()     which based on topology decides to send original or alias device details in first argument. This meant     that the source devid used to look up and copy the DTE may be incorrect, leading to wrong or stale DTE     entries being propagated to alias device. Fix this by passing the original pdev as the opaque data     argument to both the direct clone_alias() call and pci_for_each_dma_alias(). Inside clone_alias(),     retrieve the original device from data and compute devid from it. (CVE-2026-53053)

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1894 advisory.

    audit: fix incorrect inheritable capability in CAPSET records

    __audit_log_capset() records the effective capability set into theinheritable field due to a copy-paste     error. Every CAPSET auditrecord therefore reports cap_pi (process inheritable) with the valueof     cap_effective instead of cap_inheritable.

    This silently corrupts audit data used for compliance and forensicanalysis: an attacker who modifies     inheritable capabilities toprepare for a privilege-escalating exec would have the change maskedin the     audit trail.

    mailbox: add sanity check for channel array

    Fail gracefully if there is no channel array attached to the mailboxcontroller. Otherwise the later     dereference will cause an OOPS whichmight not be seen because mailbox controllers might instantiate     veryearly. Remove the comment explaining the obvious while here. (CVE-2026-53295)
