In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Tighten cgroup storage cookie checks for prog arrays The fix in commit abad3d0bad72 ("bpf: Fix oob access in cgroup local storage") is still incomplete. The prog-array compatibility check treats a program with no cgroup storage as compatible with any stored storage cookie. This allows a storage-less program to bridge a tail call chain between an entry program and a storage-using callee even though cgroup local storage at runtime still follows the caller's context, that is, A -> B(no storage) -> C(storage) path. Requiring exact cookie equality would break the legitimate case of a storage-less leaf program being tail called from a storage-using one. Instead, only accept a zero storage cookie if the program cannot perform tail calls itself. This keeps A -> B(no storage) working while rejecting the A -> B(no storage) -> C(storage) bridge.

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

(CVE-2026-74305)

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 ALAS2023-2026-2058 advisory.

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

    NFSv4/flexfiles: reject zero filehandle version count (CVE-2026-53392)

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

    nfsd: reset write verifier on deferred writeback errors (CVE-2026-53393)

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

    i2c: core: fix adapter registration race

    Adapters can be looked up based on their id using i2c_get_adapter()which takes a reference to the embedded     struct device.

    Make sure that the adapter (including its struct device) has beeninitialised before adding it to the IDR     to avoid accessing uninitialiseddata which could, for example, lead to NULL-pointer dereferences oruse-     after-free.

    Note that the i2c-dev chardev, which is registered from a bus notifier,currently uses i2c_get_adapter() so     the adapter needs to be added to theIDR before registration. (CVE-2026-53400)

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

    fbdev: fbcon: fix out-of-bounds read in err_out of fbcon_do_set_font()

    When fbcon_do_set_font() fails (e.g., due to a memory allocation failureinside vc_resize() under heavy     memory pressure), it jumps to the `err_out`label to roll back the console state. However, the current     rollback logicforgets to restore the `hi_font` state, leading to a severe state machinecorruption.

    Earlier in the function, `set_vc_hi_font()` might be called to change`vc->vc_hi_font_mask` and mutate the     screen buffer. If `vc_resize()`subsequently fails, the `err_out` path restores `vc_font.charcount`but     entirely skips rolling back the `vc_hi_font_mask` and the screenbuffer.

    This mismatch leaves the terminal in a desynchronized state. Because`vc_hi_font_mask` remains set, the VT     subsystem will still acceptcharacter indices greater than 255 from userspace and write them to thescreen     buffer. Subsequent rendering calls (e.g., `fbcon_putcs()`) willthen use these inflated indices to access     the reverted, 256-characterfont array, leading to a deterministic out-of-bounds read and potentialkernel     memory disclosure.

    Fix this by adding the missing rollback logic for the `hi_font` maskand screen buffer in the error path.

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

    xfs: fail recovery on a committed log item with no regions

    If the first op of a transaction is a bare transaction header(len == sizeof(struct xfs_trans_header)),     xlog_recover_add_to_trans()adds an item but no region, leaving it on r_itemq with ri_cnt == 0 andri_buf ==     NULL.

    The header can be split across op records, so later ops may still addregions; the item is only invalid if     the transaction commits with none.The runtime commit path never emits such a transaction, so this     onlyhappens on a crafted log.  It came from an AI-assisted code audit of therecovery parser.

    xlog_recover_reorder_trans() calls ITEM_TYPE() on the item, which reads*(unsigned short
    *)item->ri_buf[0].iov_base and faults on the NULLri_buf.  Reject it there, before the commit handlers that     also readri_buf[0].

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

    KVM: x86: Check for invalid/obsolete root *after* making MMU pages available

    Check for a stale page fault, i.e. for an invalid and/or obsolete root,after making MMU pages available     for the shadow MMU.  If reclaiming shadowpages zaps an in-use root, i.e. marks it invalid, then KVM will     attempt tomap memory into an invalid root.  On its own, populating an invalid root isfine, but because     child shadow pages inherit their parent's role, anychildren created during the map/fetch will be created     as invalid pages,thus violating KVM's invariant that invalid pages are never on the list ofactive MMU     pages.

    Note, the underlying flaw has existed since KVM first started trackinginvalid roots in 2008 (commit     2e53d63acba7, KVM: MMU: ignore zapped rootpagetables), but the true badness only came along in 2020     (Linux 5.9)with the invariant that invalid shadow pages can't be on the list ofactive pages.

    Note #2, inheriting role.invalid when creating child shadow pages is alsofar from ideal; that flaw will be     addressed separately. (CVE-2026-64561)
