In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: L2CAP: validate connectionless PSM length Connectionless L2CAP frames carry a two-byte PSM at the start of the payload. l2cap_recv_frame() currently reads that PSM unconditionally after validating only the outer L2CAP length. A malformed connectionless frame with a zero- or one-byte payload can therefore make the parser read beyond the advertised skb payload and use tailroom bytes as part of the PSM. A VHCI-backed QEMU reproducer injected a one-byte connectionless payload and reached the unchecked read. Reject connectionless frames that cannot contain the PSM before reading or pulling it. This preserves all valid connectionless frames while dropping only structurally incomplete packets.

The CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS-STREAM8:CLSA-2026:1791780738 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/khugepaged: invoke MMU notifiers in     shmem/file collapse paths Any codepath that zaps page table entries must invoke MMU notifiers to ensure     that secondary MMUs (like KVM) don't keep accessing pages which aren't mapped anymore. Secondary MMUs     don't hold their own references to pages that are mirrored over, so failing to notify them can lead to     page use-after-free. I'm marking this as addressing an issue introduced in commit f3f0e1d2150b     (khugepaged: add support of collapse for tmpfs/shmem pages), but most of the security impact of this     only came in commit 27e1f8273113 (khugepaged: enable collapse pmd for pte-mapped THP), which actually     omitted flushes for the removal of present PTEs, not just for the removal of empty page tables.
    (CVE-2022-48991)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio_net: fix xdp_rxq_info bug after     suspend/resume The following sequence currently causes a driver bug warning when using virtio_net: # ip     link set eth0 up # echo mem > /sys/power/state (or e.g. # rtcwake -s 10 -m mem) <resume> # ip link set     eth0 down Missing register, driver bug WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 375 at net/core/xdp.c:138     xdp_rxq_info_unreg+0x58/0x60 Call trace: xdp_rxq_info_unreg+0x58/0x60 virtnet_close+0x58/0xac
    __dev_close_many+0xac/0x140 __dev_change_flags+0xd8/0x210 dev_change_flags+0x24/0x64     do_setlink+0x230/0xdd0 ... This happens because virtnet_freeze() frees the receive_queue completely     (including struct xdp_rxq_info) but does not call xdp_rxq_info_unreg(). Similarly, virtnet_restore() sets     up the receive_queue again but does not call xdp_rxq_info_reg(). Actually, parts of virtnet_freeze_down()     and virtnet_restore_up() are almost identical to virtnet_close() and virtnet_open(): only the calls to     xdp_rxq_info_(un)reg() are missing. This means that we can fix this easily and avoid such problems in the     future by just calling virtnet_close()/open() from the freeze/restore handlers. Aside from adding the     missing xdp_rxq_info calls the only difference is that the refill work is only cancelled if     netif_running(). However, this should not make any functional difference since the refill work should only     be active if the network interface is actually up. (CVE-2022-49687)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf, sockmap: Fix repeated calls to     sock_put() when msg has more_data In tcp_bpf_send_verdict() redirection, the eval variable is assigned to
    __SK_REDIRECT after the apply_bytes data is sent, if msg has more_data, sock_put() will be called multiple     times. We should reset the eval variable to __SK_NONE every time more_data starts. This causes: IPv4:

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: scomp - fix req->dst buffer     overflow The req->dst buffer size should be checked before copying from the scomp_scratch->dst to avoid     req->dst buffer overflow problem. (CVE-2023-52612)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: atlantic: eliminate double free     in error handling logic Driver has a logic leak in ring data allocation/free, where aq_ring_free could be     called multiple times on same ring, if system is under stress and got memory allocation error. Ring     pointer was used as an indicator of failure, but this is not correct since only ring data is     allocated/deallocated. Ring itself is an array member. Changing ring allocation functions to return error     code directly. This simplifies error handling and eliminates aq_ring_free on higher layer.
    (CVE-2023-52664)

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.

  - Bluetooth: L2CAP: validate connectionless PSM length Connectionless L2CAP frames carry a two-byte PSM at     the start of the payload. l2cap_recv_frame() currently reads that PSM unconditionally after validating     only the outer L2CAP length.
