In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: validate extension-frame layout before RX Extension frames only have the extension header at the regular 802.11 header offset. The generic RX path can still reach helpers and interface dispatch code that read regular header address fields before unsupported extension subtypes are dropped. mac80211 currently only handles S1G beacon extension frames. Drop other extension subtypes before they can reach regular-header RX processing. For S1G beacons, linearize the SKB with the management-frame path and require the fixed S1G beacon header, including optional fixed fields indicated by frame control, before generic RX dispatch. Route S1G beacons through the station/default-link RX path without regular-header station lookup. Avoid regular-header address reads in the mac80211 RX paths that process S1G extension beacons, including accept-frame, duplicate-detection, address-copy, and MLO address-translation paths. Also make ieee80211_get_bssid() length-safe before returning the S1G source-address pointer.

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / Pro Realtime 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8781-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that some Arm processors could complete a broadcast translation lookaside buffer (TLB)     invalidation before memory writes made through the invalidated translation were globally observed. A local     attacker could possibly use this to write to memory after permission to do so had been revoked, bypassing     memory protections or escalating privileges. (CVE-2025-10263)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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.

  - wifi: mac80211: validate extension-frame layout before RX Extension frames only have the extension header     at the regular 802.11 header offset. The generic RX path can still reach helpers and interface dispatch     code that read regular header address fields before unsupported extension subtypes are dropped. mac80211     currently only handles S1G beacon extension frames. Drop other extension subtypes before they can reach     regular-header RX processing. For S1G beacons, linearize the SKB with the management-frame path and     require the fixed S1G beacon header, including optional fixed fields indicated by frame control, before     generic RX dispatch. Route S1G beacons through the station/default-link RX path without regular-header     station lookup. Avoid regular-header address reads in the mac80211 RX paths that process S1G extension     beacons, including accept-frame, duplicate-detection, address-copy, and MLO address-translation paths.
    Also make ieee80211_get_bssid() length-safe before returning the S1G source-address pointer.
    (CVE-2026-68470)

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