In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: validate fast symlink target during inode read ocfs2_validate_inode_block() already rejects several inconsistent self-contained dinodes before they are exposed to the rest of the filesystem. Fast symlinks need the same treatment. A zero-cluster symlink is treated as a fast symlink and later read through page_get_link() and ocfs2_fast_symlink_read_folio(). That path uses strnlen() on the inline payload and then copies len + 1 bytes into the folio. If a corrupt dinode stores an i_size that does not fit the inline area or omits the terminating NUL at i_size, that copy reads past the end of the inode block buffer. Reject zero-cluster symlink dinodes whose i_size exceeds the inline fast-symlink capacity or whose inline payload is not NUL-terminated exactly at i_size when the inode block is validated. This keeps malformed fast symlinks from reaching the read path. Validation reproduced this kernel report: KASAN use-after-free in ocfs2_fast_symlink_read_folio+0x12c/0x1f0 RIP: 0033:0x7f5c6d859aa7 Read of size 3905 Call trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x66/0xa0 (?:?) print_report+0xce/0x630 (?:?) ocfs2_fast_symlink_read_folio+0x12c/0x1f0 (fs/ocfs2/inode.c:?) srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 (?:?) __virt_addr_valid+0x19f/0x330 (?:?) kasan_report+0xe0/0x110 (?:?) kasan_check_range+0x105/0x1b0 (?:?) __asan_memcpy+0x23/0x60 (?:?) filemap_read_folio+0x27/0xe0 (?:?) filemap_read_folio+0x35/0xe0 (?:?) do_read_cache_folio+0x138/0x230 (?:?) __page_get_link+0x26/0x110 (?:?) page_get_link+0x2e/0x70 (?:?) vfs_readlink+0x15e/0x250 (?:?) touch_atime+0x4d/0x370 (?:?) do_readlinkat+0x186/0x200 (?:?) do_user_addr_fault+0x65a/0x890 (?:?) __x64_sys_readlink+0x46/0x60 (?:?) do_syscall_64+0x115/0x6a0 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:87) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f (?:?)

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 A local     attacker could possibly use this to write to memory after permission to do so had been revoked, bypassing     memory protections or escalating privileges.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.

  - ocfs2: validate fast symlink target during inode read ocfs2_validate_inode_block() already rejects several     inconsistent self-contained dinodes before they are exposed to the rest of the filesystem. Fast symlinks     need the same treatment. A zero-cluster symlink is treated as a fast symlink and later read through     page_get_link() and ocfs2_fast_symlink_read_folio(). That path uses strnlen() on the inline payload and     then copies len + 1 bytes into the folio. If a corrupt dinode stores an i_size that does not fit the     inline area or omits the terminating NUL at i_size, that copy reads past the end of the inode block     buffer. Reject zero-cluster symlink dinodes whose i_size exceeds the inline fast-symlink capacity or whose     inline payload is not NUL-terminated exactly at i_size when the inode block is validated. This keeps     malformed fast symlinks from reaching the read path.
