medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 461952

Description

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: platform/x86: dell-wmi-sysman: bound
enumeration string aggregation populate_enum_data() aggregates firmware-provided value-modifier and
possible-value strings into fixed 512-byte struct members. The current code bounds each individual source
string but then appends every string and separator with raw strcat() and no remaining-space check. Switch
the aggregation loops to a bounded append helper and reject enumeration packages whose combined strings do
not fit in the destination buffers. [ij: add include] (CVE-2026-53022)
