high Nessus Plugin ID 251235

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for kernel.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2025:14009 advisory.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: bpf, test_run: Fix use-after-free issue in eth_skb_pkt_type() (CVE-2025-21867)

* kernel: net: fix udp gso skb_segment after pull from frag_list (CVE-2025-38124)

* kernel: Bluetooth: hci_core: Fix use-after-free in vhci_flush() (CVE-2025-38250)

* kernel: i2c/designware: Fix an initialization issue (CVE-2025-38380)

* kernel: tls: always refresh the queue when reading sock (CVE-2025-38471)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise 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.

Solution

Update the RHEL kernel package based on the guidance in RHSA-2025:14009.
