In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pidfd: hold exec_update_lock around namespace ioctl The PIDFD_GET_*_NAMESPACE ioctls in pidfd_ioctl() perform a filesystem credentials ptrace access check before handing out a namespace file descriptor. The accompanying comment states that the code "mirrors nsfs behavior", but, unlike the corresponding procfs paths, it does so without holding the target task's exec_update_lock. proc_ns_get_link() and proc_ns_readlink() both take exec_update_lock for reading around the ptrace check and the namespace lookup, so that the credentials used for the access decision match those of the task when its namespace is read. Without it, a caller can pass the check against the target's old credentials and then read the namespace after the target has execve()'d a setuid binary and committed new credentials -- accessing namespace information it should have been denied. Hold exec_update_lock for reading around the ptrace check and the namespace lookup so that pidfd truly mirrors nsfs behavior, as the comment already claims. open_namespace() itself runs outside the lock: once a namespace reference is obtained it carries its own refcount and is opened with the caller's own credentials, so a concurrent execve() on the target can no longer affect the outcome.

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

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version     6.12.113-1~deb12u1.  This update additionally includes many more bug     fixes from stable updates 6.12.112 and 6.12.113.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux-6.12 packages.

    For the detailed security status of linux-6.12 please refer to     its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/linux-6.12

    Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply     these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be     found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS     Attachment:

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.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pidfd: hold exec_update_lock around
    namespace ioctl The PIDFD_GET_*_NAMESPACE ioctls in pidfd_ioctl() perform a filesystem credentials ptrace
    access check before handing out a namespace file descriptor. The accompanying comment states that the code
    "mirrors nsfs behavior", but, unlike the corresponding procfs paths, it does so without holding the target
    task's exec_update_lock. proc_ns_get_link() and proc_ns_readlink() both take exec_update_lock for reading
    around the ptrace check and the namespace lookup, so that the credentials used for the access decision
    match those of the task when its namespace is read. Without it, a caller can pass the check against the
    target's old credentials and then read the namespace after the target has execve()'d a setuid binary and
    committed new credentials -- accessing namespace information it should have been denied. Hold
    exec_update_lock for reading around the ptrace check and the namespace lookup so that pidfd truly mirrors
    nsfs behavior, as the comment already claims. open_namespace() itself runs outside the lock: once a
    namespace reference is obtained it carries its own refcount and is opened with the caller's own
    credentials, so a concurrent execve() on the target can no longer affect the outcome. (CVE-2026-89766)

The remote Debian 13 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6568 advisory.

    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 6.12.113-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

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

The remote Oracle Linux 10 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2026-500394 advisory.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux 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.

  - pidfd: hold exec_update_lock around namespace ioctl The PIDFD_GET_*_NAMESPACE ioctls in pidfd_ioctl()     perform a filesystem credentials ptrace access check before handing out a namespace file descriptor. The     accompanying comment states that the code mirrors nsfs behavior, but, unlike the corresponding procfs     paths, it does so without holding the target task's exec_update_lock. proc_ns_get_link() and     proc_ns_readlink() both take exec_update_lock for reading around the ptrace check and the namespace     lookup, so that the credentials used for the access decision match those of the task when its namespace is     read. Without it, a caller can pass the check against the target's old credentials and then read the     namespace after the target has execve()'d a setuid binary and committed new credentials -- accessing     namespace information it should have been denied. Hold exec_update_lock for reading around the ptrace     check and the namespace lookup so that pidfd truly mirrors nsfs behavior, as the comment already claims.
    open_namespace() itself runs outside the lock: once a namespace reference is obtained it carries its own     refcount and is opened with the caller's own credentials, so a concurrent execve() on the target can no     longer affect the outcome. (CVE-2026-89766)

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