In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/pm/si: Don't schedule thermal work when queue isn't initialized When DPM is turned off with the amdgpu.dpm=0 module parameter, the thermal work queue isn't initialized so we shouldn't schedule any work on it. (cherry picked from commit bd018d36171a695952c6d391471c279c9e05c8b2)

The remote Oracle Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2026-500574 advisory.

    - ipv4: validate checksum_start before completing checksum (Michael S. Tsirkin)  [Orabug: 40165811]     {CVE-2026-99999}
    - ipv4: free inet_opt and ireq_opt after an RCU grace period (Eric Dumazet)  [Orabug: 40165788]     {CVE-2026-98432}
    - exec: Cleanup POSIX timers right after de_thread() (Hyunwoo Kim)  [Orabug: 40120750]  {CVE-2026-98260}

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.

An update of the linux package has been released.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - drm/amd/pm/si: Don't schedule thermal work when queue isn't initialized When DPM is turned off with the     amdgpu.dpm=0 module parameter, the thermal work queue isn't initialized so we shouldn't schedule any work     on it. (cherry picked from commit bd018d36171a695952c6d391471c279c9e05c8b2) (CVE-2026-98898)

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