In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: validate cookie AUTH state before use When cookie authentication is disabled, COOKIE_ECHO restores fixed-size AUTH fields directly from peer-controlled cookie bytes. A forged RANDOM length, HMAC list, or CHUNKS list can then reach association consumers with lengths or identifiers that were never validated against the local backing arrays. A forged RANDOM length can cause out-of-bounds reads during key-vector construction. A forged HMAC identifier also caused a 32-byte write past a zero-length AUTH chunk, providing a primitive for a local privilege escalation chain. Validate the cookie's RANDOM, HMACS, and CHUNKS parameters at the cookie trust boundary before copying them into the association. Reject invalid types, malformed lengths, unsupported HMAC identifiers, HMAC lists without SHA1, and forbidden chunk ids.

ubuntu_linux USN-8886-1: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / Ubuntu Pro Realtime 24.04 LTS : Linux kernel (NVIDIA Tegra) vulnerabilities (USN-8886-1)

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1789898700 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: fix possible deadlock when     holding Fwb to get inline_data 1, mount with wsync. 2, create a file with O_RDWR, and the request was sent     to mds.0: ceph_atomic_open()--> ceph_mdsc_do_request(openc) finish_open(file, dentry, ceph_open)-->     ceph_open()--> ceph_init_file()--> ceph_init_file_info()--> ceph_uninline_data()--> { ... if     (inline_version == 1 || /* initial version, no data */ inline_version == CEPH_INLINE_NONE) goto     out_unlock; ... } The inline_version will be 1, which is the initial version for the new create file. And     here the ci->i_inline_version will keep with 1, it's buggy. 3, buffer write to the file immediately:
    ceph_write_iter()--> ceph_get_caps(file, need=Fw, want=Fb, ...); generic_perform_write()-->     a_ops->write_begin()--> ceph_write_begin()--> netfs_write_begin()--> netfs_begin_read()-->     netfs_rreq_submit_slice()--> netfs_read_from_server()--> rreq->netfs_ops->issue_read()-->     ceph_netfs_issue_read()--> { ... if (ci->i_inline_version != CEPH_INLINE_NONE &&     ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline(subreq)) return; ... } ceph_put_cap_refs(ci, Fwb); The     ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline() will send a getattr(Fsr) request to mds.1. 4, then the mds.1 will request the     rd lock for CInode::filelock from the auth mds.0, the mds.0 will do the CInode::filelock state transation     from excl --> sync, but it need to revoke the Fxwb caps back from the clients. While the kernel client has     aleady held the Fwb caps and waiting for the getattr(Fsr). It's deadlock! URL:
    https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/55377 (CVE-2022-49296)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix reading strings from     synthetic events The follow commands caused a crash: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo 's:open char file[]'     > dynamic_events # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:file=filename:onchange($file).trace(open,$file)' >     events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/trigger' # echo 1 > events/synthetic/open/enable BOOM! The problem is     that the synthetic event field char file[] will read the value given to it as a string without any     memory checks to make sure the address is valid. The above example will pass in the user space address and     the sythetic event code will happily call strlen() on it and then strscpy() where either one will cause an     oops when accessing user space addresses. Use the helper functions from trace_kprobe and trace_eprobe that     can read strings safely (and actually succeed when the address is from user space and the memory is mapped     in). Now the above can show: packagekitd-1721 [000] ...2. 104.597170: open:
    file=/usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/cmake.attr in:imjournal-978 [006] ...2. 104.599642: open:

    file=/usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/debuginfo.attr (CVE-2022-50255)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwrng: core - Fix page fault dead lock     on mmap-ed hwrng There is a dead-lock in the hwrng device read path. This triggers when the user reads     from /dev/hwrng into memory also mmap-ed from /dev/hwrng. The resulting page fault triggers a recursive     read which then dead-locks. Fix this by using a stack buffer when calling copy_to_user. (CVE-2023-52615)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fscache: Use wait_on_bit() to wait for     the freeing of relinquished volume The freeing of relinquished volume will wake up the pending volume     acquisition by using wake_up_bit(), however it is mismatched with wait_var_event() used in     fscache_wait_on_volume_collision() and it will never wake up the waiter in the wait-queue because these     two functions operate on different wait-queues. According to the implementation in     fscache_wait_on_volume_collision(), if the wake-up of pending acquisition is delayed longer than 20     seconds (e.g., due to the delay of on-demand fd closing), the first wait_var_event_timeout() will timeout     and the following wait_var_event() will hang forever as shown below: FS-Cache: Potential volume collision     new=00000024 old=00000022 ...... INFO: task mount:1148 blocked for more than 122 seconds. Not tainted     6.1.0-rc6+ #1 task:mount state:D stack:0 pid:1148 ppid:1 Call Trace: <TASK> __schedule+0x2f6/0xb80     schedule+0x67/0xe0 fscache_wait_on_volume_collision.cold+0x80/0x82 __fscache_acquire_volume+0x40d/0x4e0     erofs_fscache_register_volume+0x51/0xe0 [erofs] erofs_fscache_register_fs+0x19c/0x240 [erofs]     erofs_fc_fill_super+0x746/0xaf0 [erofs] vfs_get_super+0x7d/0x100 get_tree_nodev+0x16/0x20     erofs_fc_get_tree+0x20/0x30 [erofs] vfs_get_tree+0x24/0xb0 path_mount+0x2fa/0xa90 do_mount+0x7c/0xa0
    __x64_sys_mount+0x8b/0xe0 do_syscall_64+0x30/0x60 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 Considering     that wake_up_bit() is more selective, so fix it by using wait_on_bit() instead of wait_var_event() to wait     for the freeing of relinquished volume. In addition because waitqueue_active() is used in wake_up_bit()     and clear_bit() doesn't imply any memory barrier, use clear_and_wake_up_bit() to add the missing memory     barrier between cursor->flags and waitqueue_active(). (CVE-2023-52982)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: fix iso_conn related     locking and validity issues sk->sk_state indicates whether iso_pi(sk)->conn is valid. Operations that     check/update sk_state and access conn should hold lock_sock, otherwise they can race. The order of taking     locks is hci_dev_lock > lock_sock > iso_conn_lock, which is how it is in connect/disconnect_cfm ->     iso_conn_del -> iso_chan_del. Fix locking in iso_connect_cis/bis and sendmsg/recvmsg to take lock_sock     around updating sk_state and conn. iso_conn_del must not occur during iso_connect_cis/bis, as it frees the     iso_conn. Hold hdev->lock longer to prevent that. This should not reintroduce the issue fixed in commit     241f51931c35 (Bluetooth: ISO: Avoid circular locking dependency), since the we acquire locks in order.
    We retain the fix in iso_sock_connect to release lock_sock before iso_connect_* acquires hdev->lock.
    Similarly for commit 6a5ad251b7cd (Bluetooth: ISO: Fix possible circular locking dependency). We retain     the fix in iso_conn_ready to not acquire iso_conn_lock before lock_sock. iso_conn_add shall return     iso_conn with valid hcon. Make it so also when reusing an old CIS connection waiting for disconnect     timeout (see __iso_sock_close where conn->hcon is set to NULL).

The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2026:1789037015 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: iscsi: Fix conn use after free     during resets If we haven't done a unbind target call we can race where iscsi_conn_teardown wakes up the     EH thread and then frees the conn while those threads are still accessing the conn ehwait. We can only do     one TMF per session so this just moves the TMF fields from the conn to the session. We can then rely on     the iscsi_session_teardown->iscsi_remove_session->__iscsi_unbind_session call to remove the target and     it's devices, and know after that point there is no device or scsi-ml callout trying to access the     session. (CVE-2021-47328)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: improve error handling from     ext4_dirhash() The ext4_dirhash() will *almost* never fail, especially when the hash tree feature was     first introduced. However, with the addition of support of encrypted, casefolded file names, that function     can most certainly fail today. So make sure the callers of ext4_dirhash() properly check for failures, and     reflect the errors back up to their callers. (CVE-2023-53473)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/vt-d: Clear Present bit before     tearing down context entry When tearing down a context entry, the current implementation zeros the entire     128-bit entry using multiple 64-bit writes. This creates a window where the hardware can fetch a torn     entry  where some fields are already zeroed while the 'Present' bit is still set  leading to     unpredictable behavior or spurious faults. While x86 provides strong write ordering, the compiler may     reorder writes to the two 64-bit halves of the context entry. Even without compiler reordering, the     hardware fetch is not guaranteed to be atomic with respect to multiple CPU writes. Align with the     Guidance to Software for Invalidations in the VT-d spec (Section 6.5.3.3) by implementing the     recommended ownership handshake: 1. Clear only the 'Present' (P) bit of the context entry first to signal     the transition of ownership from hardware to software. 2. Use dma_wmb() to ensure the cleared bit is     visible to the IOMMU. 3. Perform the required cache and context-cache invalidation to ensure hardware no     longer has cached references to the entry. 4. Fully zero out the entry only after the invalidation is     complete. Also, add a dma_wmb() to context_set_present() to ensure the entry is fully initialized before     the 'Present' bit becomes visible. (CVE-2026-45944)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipmi: Add limits to event and receive     message requests The driver would just fetch events and receive messages until the BMC said it was done.
    To avoid issues with BMCs that never say they are done, add a limit of 10 fetches at a time. In addition,     an si interface has an attn state it can return from the hardware which is supposed to cause a flag fetch     to see if the driver needs to fetch events or message or a few other things. If the attn bit gets stuck,     it's a similar problem. So allow messages in between flag fetches so the driver itself doesn't get stuck.
    This is a more general fix than the previous fix for the specific bad BMC, but should fix the more general     issue of a BMC that won't stop saying it has data. This has been there from the beginning of the driver.
    It's not a bug per-se, but it is accounting for bugs in BMCs. (CVE-2026-46177)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: use generic driver_override     infrastructure When a driver is probed through __driver_attach(), the bus' match() callback is called     without the device lock held, thus accessing the driver_override field without a lock, which can cause a     UAF. Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure taking care of proper locking     internally. Note that calling match() from __driver_attach() without the device lock held is intentional.
    [1] (CVE-2026-53120)

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.

  - sctp: validate cookie AUTH state before use When cookie authentication is disabled, COOKIE_ECHO restores     fixed-size AUTH fields directly from peer-controlled cookie bytes. A forged RANDOM length, HMAC list, or     CHUNKS list can then reach association consumers with lengths or identifiers that were never validated     against the local backing arrays. A forged RANDOM length can cause out-of-bounds reads during key-vector     construction. A forged HMAC identifier also caused a 32-byte write past a zero-length AUTH chunk,     providing a primitive for a local privilege escalation chain. Validate the cookie's RANDOM, HMACS, and     CHUNKS parameters at the cookie trust boundary before copying them into the association. Reject invalid     types, malformed lengths, unsupported HMAC identifiers, HMAC lists without SHA1, and forbidden chunk ids.
    (CVE-2026-74752)
