In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: tear down new links on vif update error path When ieee80211_vif_update_links() adds new links it allocates a link container for each and calls ieee80211_link_init() (which registers the per-link debugfs files with file->private_data pointing into the container) and ieee80211_link_setup(). If the subsequent drv_change_vif_links() fails, the error path restores the old pointers and jumps to 'free', which frees the new containers but never removes their debugfs entries or stops the links. The debugfs files survive with file->private_data dangling at the freed container, so a later open()+read() (e.g. link-1/txpower) dereferences freed memory in ieee80211_if_read_link(), a use-after-free. The removal path already dismantles links correctly via ieee80211_tear_down_links(), which removes each link's keys and debugfs entries and calls ieee80211_link_stop(); the add path on the error branch does not. Commit be1ba9ed221f ("wifi: mac80211: avoid weird state in error path") hardened this same error path for the link-removal case (new_links == 0) but left the newly-added links' teardown unaddressed. drv_change_vif_links() can fail at runtime on MLO drivers (internal allocation / queue / firmware command failures). Remove the new links' debugfs entries and stop them before freeing.

The CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS-STREAM8:CLSA-2026:1789141176 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Propagate error from     htab_lock_bucket() to userspace In __htab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch() if htab_lock_bucket() returns
    -EBUSY, it will go to next bucket. Going to next bucket may not only skip the elements in current bucket     silently, but also incur out-of-bound memory access or expose kernel memory to userspace if current     bucket_cnt is greater than bucket_size or zero. Fixing it by stopping batch operation and returning -EBUSY     when htab_lock_bucket() fails, and the application can retry or skip the busy batch as needed.
    (CVE-2022-50490)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: hpsa: Fix possible memory leak     in hpsa_init_one() The hpda_alloc_ctlr_info() allocates h and its field reply_map. However, in     hpsa_init_one(), if alloc_percpu() failed, the hpsa_init_one() jumps to clean1 directly, which frees h and     leaks the h->reply_map. Fix by calling hpda_free_ctlr_info() to release h->replay_map and h instead free h     directly. (CVE-2022-50646)

  - The current implementation of the prctl syscall does not issue an IBPB immediately during the syscall. The     ib_prctl_set function updates the Thread Information Flags (TIFs) for the task and updates the SPEC_CTRL     MSR on the function __speculation_ctrl_update, but the IBPB is only issued on the next schedule, when the     TIF bits are checked. This leaves the victim vulnerable to values already injected on the BTB, prior to     the prctl syscall. The patch that added the support for the conditional mitigation via prctl     (ib_prctl_set) dates back to the kernel 4.9.176. We recommend upgrading past commit     a664ec9158eeddd75121d39c9a0758016097fa96 (CVE-2023-0045)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem). This issue     may allow a malicious user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to cause a 4 byte out-of-bounds read of     XFRMA_MTIMER_THRESH when parsing netlink attributes, leading to potential leakage of sensitive heap data     to userspace. (CVE-2023-3773)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: Fix invalid page access after     closing deferred I/O devices When a fbdev with deferred I/O is once opened and closed, the dirty pages     still remain queued in the pageref list, and eventually later those may be processed in the delayed work.
    This may lead to a corruption of pages, hitting an Oops. This patch makes sure to cancel the delayed work     and clean up the pageref list at closing the device for addressing the bug. A part of the cleanup code is     factored out as a new helper function that is called from the common fb_release(). (CVE-2023-52731)

The Rocky Linux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1788168285 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing/histogram: Fix a potential     memory leak for kstrdup() kfree() is missing on an error path to free the memory allocated by kstrdup(): p     = param = kstrdup(data->params[i], GFP_KERNEL); So it is better to free it via kfree(p). (CVE-2022-48768)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: af_can: fix NULL pointer     dereference in can_rx_register() It causes NULL pointer dereference when testing as following: (a) use     syscall(__NR_socket, 0x10ul, 3ul, 0) to create netlink socket. (b) use syscall(__NR_sendmsg, ...) to     create bond link device and vxcan link device, and bind vxcan device to bond device (can also use     ifenslave command to bind vxcan device to bond device). (c) use syscall(__NR_socket, 0x1dul, 3ul, 1) to     create CAN socket. (d) use syscall(__NR_bind, ...) to bind the bond device to CAN socket. The bond device     invokes the can-raw protocol registration interface to receive CAN packets. However, ml_priv is not     allocated to the dev, dev_rcv_lists is assigned to NULL in can_rx_register(). In this case, it will occur     the NULL pointer dereference issue. The following is the stack information: BUG: kernel NULL pointer     dereference, address: 0000000000000008 PGD 122a4067 P4D 122a4067 PUD 1223c067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1]     PREEMPT SMP RIP: 0010:can_rx_register+0x12d/0x1e0 Call Trace: <TASK> raw_enable_filters+0x8d/0x120     raw_enable_allfilters+0x3b/0x130 raw_bind+0x118/0x4f0 __sys_bind+0x163/0x1a0 __x64_sys_bind+0x1e/0x30     do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd </TASK> (CVE-2022-49863)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: eir: Fix possible crashes     on eir_create_adv_data eir_create_adv_data may attempt to add EIR_FLAGS and EIR_TX_POWER without checking     if that would fit. (CVE-2025-38303)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gve: prevent ethtool ops after     shutdown A crash can occur if an ethtool operation is invoked after shutdown() is called. shutdown() is     invoked during system shutdown to stop DMA operations without performing expensive deallocations. It is     discouraged to unregister the netdev in this path, so the device may still be visible to userspace and     kernel helpers. In gve, shutdown() tears down most internal data structures. If an ethtool operation is     dispatched after shutdown(), it will dereference freed or NULL pointers, leading to a kernel panic. While     graceful shutdown normally quiesces userspace before invoking the reboot syscall, forced shutdowns (as     observed on GCP VMs) can still trigger this path. Fix by calling netif_device_detach() in shutdown(). This     marks the device as detached so the ethtool ioctl handler will skip dispatching operations to the driver.

Thus, the     cryptd_queue_worker is triggered, and the tipc_crypto tx will be visited. tipc_disc_timeout     tipc_bearer_xmit_skb tipc_crypto_xmit tipc_aead_encrypt crypto_aead_encrypt // encrypt() simd_aead_encrypt     // crypto_simd_usable() is false child = &ctx->cryptd_tfm->base; simd_aead_encrypt crypto_aead_encrypt //     encrypt() cryptd_aead_encrypt_enqueue cryptd_aead_enqueue cryptd_enqueue_request // trigger     cryptd_queue_worker queue_work_on(smp_processor_id(), cryptd_wq, &cpu_queue->work) Fix this by holding net     reference count before encrypt.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: eir: Fix possible crashes     on eir_create_adv_data eir_create_adv_data may attempt to add EIR_FLAGS and EIR_TX_POWER without checking     if that would fit. (CVE-2025-38303)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gve: prevent ethtool ops after     shutdown A crash can occur if an ethtool operation is invoked after shutdown() is called. shutdown() is     invoked during system shutdown to stop DMA operations without performing expensive deallocations. It is     discouraged to unregister the netdev in this path, so the device may still be visible to userspace and     kernel helpers. In gve, shutdown() tears down most internal data structures. If an ethtool operation is     dispatched after shutdown(), it will dereference freed or NULL pointers, leading to a kernel panic. While     graceful shutdown normally quiesces userspace before invoking the reboot syscall, forced shutdowns (as     observed on GCP VMs) can still trigger this path. Fix by calling netif_device_detach() in shutdown(). This     marks the device as detached so the ethtool ioctl handler will skip dispatching operations to the driver.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information     leaks.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 6.12.101-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

    For the detailed security status of linux please refer to its security     tracker page at:

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian 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: wifi: mac80211: tear down new links on     vif update error path When ieee80211_vif_update_links() adds new links it allocates a link container for     each and calls ieee80211_link_init() (which registers the per-link debugfs files with file->private_data     pointing into the container) and ieee80211_link_setup(). If the subsequent drv_change_vif_links() fails,     the error path restores the old pointers and jumps to 'free', which frees the new containers but never     removes their debugfs entries or stops the links. The debugfs files survive with file->private_data     dangling at the freed container, so a later open()+read() (e.g. link-1/txpower) dereferences freed memory     in ieee80211_if_read_link(), a use-after-free. The removal path already dismantles links correctly via     ieee80211_tear_down_links(), which removes each link's keys and debugfs entries and calls     ieee80211_link_stop(); the add path on the error branch does not. Commit be1ba9ed221f (wifi: mac80211:
    avoid weird state in error path) hardened this same error path for the link-removal case (new_links == 0)     but left the newly-added links' teardown unaddressed. drv_change_vif_links() can fail at runtime on MLO     drivers (internal allocation / queue / firmware command failures). Remove the new links' debugfs entries     and stop them before freeing. BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in ieee80211_if_read_link     (net/mac80211/debugfs_netdev.c:127) Read of size 8 at addr ffff888011290000 by task exploit/145 Call     Trace: ... ieee80211_if_read_link (net/mac80211/debugfs_netdev.c:127) short_proxy_read     (fs/debugfs/file.c:373) vfs_read (fs/read_write.c:572) ksys_read (fs/read_write.c:716) do_syscall_64     (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121) ...

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