In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: cx23885: cancel NetUP CI work before teardown netup_ci_exit() frees a netup_ci_state while its work item, netup_read_ci_status(), may still be pending or running on the system workqueue. The worker obtains the state with container_of() and dereferences it, so it must not outlive the state. netup_ci_init() queues the initial status read, and CI GPIO interrupts subsequently queue the same work from netup_ci_slot_status(). During remove, cx23885_finidev() calls free_irq() before the CI device is unregistered. free_irq() prevents further IRQ handlers from running, but does not drain work queued previously, so the worker can run after netup_ci_exit() frees the state. Call cancel_work_sync() before dvb_ca_en50221_release() and kfree(). This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/uverbs: Validate wqe_size before     using it in ib_uverbs_post_send ib_uverbs_post_send() uses cmd.wqe_size from userspace without any     validation before passing it to kmalloc() and using the allocated buffer as struct ib_uverbs_send_wr. If a     user provides a small wqe_size value (e.g., 1), kmalloc() will succeed, but subsequent accesses to     user_wr->opcode, user_wr->num_sge, and other fields will read beyond the allocated buffer, resulting in an     out-of-bounds read from kernel heap memory. This could potentially leak sensitive kernel information to     userspace. Additionally, providing an excessively large wqe_size can trigger a WARNING in the memory     allocation path, as reported by syzkaller. This is inconsistent with ib_uverbs_unmarshall_recv() which     properly validates that wqe_size >= sizeof(struct ib_uverbs_recv_wr) before proceeding. Add the same     validation for ib_uverbs_post_send() to ensure wqe_size is at least sizeof(struct ib_uverbs_send_wr).

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gfs2: Fix slab-use-after-free in     qd_put Commit a475c5dd16e5 (gfs2: Free quota data objects synchronously) started freeing quota data     objects during filesystem shutdown instead of putting them back onto the LRU list, but it failed to remove     these objects from the LRU list, causing LRU list corruption. This caused use-after-free when the shrinker     (gfs2_qd_shrink_scan) tried to access already-freed objects on the LRU list. Fix this by removing qd     objects from the LRU list before freeing them in qd_put(). Initial fix from Deepanshu Kartikey     <kartikey406@gmail.com>. (CVE-2026-45861)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gfs2: Fix use-after-free in iomap     inline data write path The inline data buffer head (dibh) is being released prematurely in     gfs2_iomap_begin() via release_metapath() while iomap->inline_data still points to dibh->b_data. This     causes a use-after-free when iomap_write_end_inline() later attempts to write to the inline data area. The     bug sequence: 1. gfs2_iomap_begin() calls gfs2_meta_inode_buffer() to read inode metadata into dibh 2.
    Sets iomap->inline_data = dibh->b_data + sizeof(struct gfs2_dinode) 3. Calls release_metapath() which     calls brelse(dibh), dropping refcount to 0 4. kswapd reclaims the page (~39ms later in the syzbot report)     5. iomap_write_end_inline() tries to memcpy() to iomap->inline_data 6. KASAN detects use-after-free write     to freed memory Fix by storing dibh in iomap->private and incrementing its refcount with get_bh() in     gfs2_iomap_begin(). The buffer is then properly released in gfs2_iomap_end() after the inline write     completes, ensuring the page stays alive for the entire iomap operation. Note: A C reproducer is not     available for this issue. The fix is based on analysis of the KASAN report and code review showing the     buffer head is freed before use. [agruenba: Take buffer head reference in gfs2_iomap_begin() to avoid     leaks in gfs2_iomap_get() and gfs2_iomap_alloc().] (CVE-2026-45984)

Note that the exiting session will stay in server->smb_ses_list until it     complete the cifs_free_ipc() and logoff() and then delete itself from the list. (CVE-2023-53794)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: skbuff: propagate shared-frag     marker through frag-transfer helpers Two frag-transfer helpers (__pskb_copy_fclone() and skb_shift()) fail     to propagate the SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG bit in skb_shinfo()->flags when moving frags from source to     destination. __pskb_copy_fclone() defers the rest of the shinfo metadata to skb_copy_header() after     copying frag descriptors, but that helper only carries over gso_{size,segs, type} and never touches     skb_shinfo()->flags; skb_shift() moves frag descriptors directly and leaves flags untouched. As a result,     the destination skb keeps a reference to the same externally-owned or page-cache-backed pages while     reporting skb_has_shared_frag() as false. The mismatch is harmful in any in-place writer that uses     skb_has_shared_frag() to decide whether shared pages must be detoured through skb_cow_data(). ESP input is     one such writer (esp4.c, esp6.c), and a single nft 'dup to <local>' rule -- or any other nf_dup_ipv4() /     xt_TEE caller -- is enough to land a pskb_copy()'d skb in esp_input() with the marker stripped, letting an     unprivileged user write into the page cache of a root-owned read-only file via authencesn-ESN stray     writes. Set SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG on the destination whenever frag descriptors were actually moved from the     source. skb_copy() and skb_copy_expand() share skb_copy_header() too but linearize all paged data into     freshly allocated head storage and emerge with nr_frags == 0, so skb_has_shared_frag() returns false on     its own; they need no change. The same omission exists in skb_gro_receive() and skb_gro_receive_list().
    The former moves the incoming skb's frag descriptors into the accumulator's last sub-skb via two paths (a     direct frag-move loop and the head_frag + memcpy path); the latter chains the incoming skb whole onto p's     frag_list. Downstream skb_segment() reads only skb_shinfo(p)->flags, and skb_segment_list() reuses each     sub-skb's shinfo as the nskb -- both p and lp must carry the marker. The same omission also exists in     tcp_clone_payload(), which builds an MTU probe skb by moving frag descriptors from skbs on sk_write_queue     into a freshly allocated nskb. The helper falls into the same family and warrants the same fix for     consistency; no TCP TX-side in-place writer is currently known to reach a user page through this gap, but     a future consumer depending on the marker would regress silently. The same omission exists in     skb_segment(): the per-iteration flag merge takes only head_skb's flag, and the inner switch that rebinds     frag_skb to list_skb on head_skb-frags exhaustion does not fold the new frag_skb's flag into nskb. Fold     frag_skb's flag at both sites so segments drawing frags from frag_list members carry the marker.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: authencesn - reject short     ahash digests during instance creation authencesn requires either a zero authsize or an authsize of at     least 4 bytes because the ESN encrypt/decrypt paths always move 4 bytes of high-order sequence number data     at the end of the authenticated data. While crypto_authenc_esn_setauthsize() already rejects explicit non-     zero authsizes in the range 1..3, crypto_authenc_esn_create() still copied auth->digestsize into     inst->alg.maxauthsize without validating it. The AEAD core then initialized the tfm's default authsize     from that value. As a result, selecting an ahash with digest size 1..3, such as cbcmac(cipher_null),     exposed authencesn instances whose default authsize was invalid even though setauthsize() would have     rejected the same value. AF_ALG could then trigger the ESN tail handling with a too-short tag and hit an     out-of-bounds access. Reject authencesn instances whose ahash digest size is in the invalid non-zero range     1..3 so that no tfm can inherit an unsupported default authsize. (CVE-2026-46033)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/rxe: Validate pad and ICRC before     payload_size() in rxe_rcv rxe_rcv() currently checks only that the incoming packet is at least     header_size(pkt) bytes long before payload_size() is used. However, payload_size() subtracts both the     attacker-controlled BTH pad field and RXE_ICRC_SIZE from pkt->paylen: payload_size = pkt->paylen -     offset[RXE_PAYLOAD] - bth_pad(pkt) - RXE_ICRC_SIZE This means a short packet can still make payload_size()     underflow even if it includes enough bytes for the fixed headers. Simply requiring header_size(pkt) +     RXE_ICRC_SIZE is not sufficient either, because a packet with a forged non-zero BTH pad can still leave     payload_size() negative and pass an underflowed value to later receive-path users. Fix this by validating     pkt->paylen against the full minimum length required by payload_size(): header_size(pkt) + bth_pad(pkt) +     RXE_ICRC_SIZE. (CVE-2026-46043)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/khugepaged: fix ->anon_vma race If     an ->anon_vma is attached to the VMA, collapse_and_free_pmd() requires it to be locked. Page table     traversal is allowed under any one of the mmap lock, the anon_vma lock (if the VMA is associated with an     anon_vma), and the mapping lock (if the VMA is associated with a mapping); and so to be able to remove     page tables, we must hold all three of them. retract_page_tables() bails out if an ->anon_vma is attached,     but does this check before holding the mmap lock (as the comment above the check explains). If we racily     merged an existing ->anon_vma (shared with a child process) from a neighboring VMA, subsequent rmap     traversals on pages belonging to the child will be able to see the page tables that we are concurrently     removing while assuming that nothing else can access them. Repeat the ->anon_vma check once we hold the     mmap lock to ensure that there really is no concurrent page table access. Hitting this bug causes a     lockdep warning in collapse_and_free_pmd(), in the line     lockdep_assert_held_write(&vma->anon_vma->root->rwsem). It can also lead to use-after-free access.

    *)((u8 *)mvm->nvm_data->channels + 1); because of the (u8 *) cast, we add only 1 to the address of the     beginning of the flex array. It is likely that we want point at the 'struct ieee80211_rate' allocated just     after. Remove the spurious casting so that the pointer arithmetic works as expected. (CVE-2023-52531)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Don't (re)check L1     intercepts when completing userspace I/O When completing emulation of instruction that generated a     userspace exit for I/O, don't recheck L1 intercepts as KVM has already finished that phase of instruction     execution, i.e. has already committed to allowing L2 to perform I/O. If L1 (or host userspace) modifies     the I/O permission bitmaps during the exit to userspace, KVM will treat the access as being intercepted     despite already having emulated the I/O access. Pivot on EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE to detect that KVM is     completing emulation. Of the three users of EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE, only complete_emulated_io() (the intended     recipient) can reach the code in question. gp_interception()'s use is mutually exclusive with     is_guest_mode(), and complete_emulated_insn_gp() unconditionally pairs EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE with     EMULTYPE_SKIP. The bad behavior was detected by a syzkaller program that toggles port I/O interception     during the userspace I/O exit, ultimately resulting in a WARN on vcpu->arch.pio.count being non-zero due     to KVM no completing emulation of the I/O instruction.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btusb: fix use-after-free     on registration failure Make sure to release the sibling interfaces in case controller registration fails     to avoid use-after-free and double-free when they are eventually disconnected. This issue was reported by     Sashiko while reviewing a fix for a wakeup source leak in the btusb probe errors paths. (CVE-2026-64471)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: firewire: isight: bound the     sample count to the packet payload isight_packet() takes the frame count from the device iso packet and     checks it only against the device claimed iso length. count = be32_to_cpu(payload->sample_count); if     (likely(count <= (length - 16) / 4)) isight_samples(isight, payload->samples, count); length is the iso     header data_length. It can be up to 0xffff. So the gate allows a count up to about 16379. isight_samples()     then copies count frames out of payload->samples into the PCM DMA buffer. payload->samples holds only 2 *     MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET values. The device multiplexes two samples per frame. A count past     MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET reads past the payload. A count past the buffer size writes past runtime->dma_area.
    The smallest PCM buffer is larger than MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET. Bounding the count to MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET     keeps both the read and the write in range. A malicious or faulty Apple iSight on the FireWire bus reaches     this during a normal capture. Add the MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET bound to the gate. (CVE-2026-64483)

The CentOS Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS6:CLSA-2026:1791949745 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: core: zero-initialize the report     buffer Since the report buffer is used by all kinds of drivers in various ways, let's zero-initialize it     during allocation to make sure that it can't be ever used to leak kernel memory via specially-crafted     report. (CVE-2024-50302)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb-audio: Fix potential out-of-     bound accesses for Extigy and Mbox devices A bogus device can provide a bNumConfigurations value that     exceeds the initial value used in usb_get_configuration for allocating dev->config. This can lead to out-     of-bounds accesses later, e.g. in usb_destroy_configuration. (CVE-2024-53197)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: reject userspace     cifs.spnego descriptions cifs.spnego key descriptions contain authority-bearing fields such as pid, uid,     creduid, and upcall_target that cifs.upcall treats as kernel-originating inputs. However, userspace can     also create keys of this type through request_key(2) or add_key(2), allowing those fields to be supplied     without CIFS origin. Only accept cifs.spnego descriptions while CIFS is using its private spnego_cred to     request the key. (CVE-2026-46243)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: serialize accept_q access     bt_sock_poll() walks the accept queue without synchronization, while child teardown can unlink the same     socket and drop its last reference. The unsynchronized accept queue walk has existed since the initial     Bluetooth import. Protect accept_q with a dedicated lock for queue updates and polling. Also rework     bt_accept_dequeue() to take temporary child references under the queue lock before dropping it and locking     the child socket. (CVE-2026-52918)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: bridge: make ebt_snat ARP     rewrite writable The ebtables SNAT target keeps the Ethernet source address rewrite behind     skb_ensure_writable(skb, 0). This is intentional: at the bridge ebtables hooks the Ethernet header is     addressed through skb_mac_header()/eth_hdr(), while skb->data points at the Ethernet payload. Asking     skb_ensure_writable() for ETH_HLEN bytes would check the payload, not the Ethernet header, and would     reintroduce the small packet regression fixed by commit 63137bc5882a. However, the optional ARP sender     hardware address rewrite is different. It writes through skb_store_bits() at an offset relative to     skb->data: skb_store_bits(skb, sizeof(struct arphdr), info->mac, ETH_ALEN) skb_header_pointer() only     safely reads the ARP header; it does not make the later sender hardware address range writable. If that     range is still held in a nonlinear skb fragment backed by a splice-imported file page, skb_store_bits()     maps the frag page and copies the new MAC address directly into it. Ensure the ARP SHA range is writable     before reading the ARP header and before calling skb_store_bits(). (CVE-2026-53266)

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.

  - media: cx23885: cancel NetUP CI work before teardown netup_ci_exit() frees a netup_ci_state while its work     item, netup_read_ci_status(), may still be pending or running on the system workqueue. The worker obtains     the state with container_of() and dereferences it, so it must not outlive the state. netup_ci_init()     queues the initial status read, and CI GPIO interrupts subsequently queue the same work from     netup_ci_slot_status(). During remove, cx23885_finidev() calls free_irq() before the CI device is     unregistered. free_irq() prevents further IRQ handlers from running, but does not drain work queued     previously, so the worker can run after netup_ci_exit() frees the state. Call cancel_work_sync() before     dvb_ca_en50221_release() and kfree(). This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
    (CVE-2026-89893)

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