high Nessus Plugin ID 264793

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-2025:15782 advisory.

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

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: ublk: make sure ubq->canceling is set when queue is frozen (CVE-2025-22068)

* kernel: scsi: lpfc: Use memcpy() for BIOS version (CVE-2025-38332)

* kernel: idpf: convert control queue mutex to a spinlock (CVE-2025-38392)

* kernel: tcp: Correct signedness in skb remaining space calculation (CVE-2025-38463)

* kernel: do_change_type(): refuse to operate on unmounted/not ours mounts (CVE-2025-38498)

* kernel: xfrm: interface: fix use-after-free after changing collect_md xfrm interface (CVE-2025-38500)

* kernel: ipv6: mcast: Delay put pmc->idev in mld_del_delrec() (CVE-2025-38550)

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-2025:15782.
