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-2025:19106 advisory.

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

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: vsock/virtio: Validate length in packet header before skb_put() (CVE-2025-39718)

* kernel: NFS: Fix filehandle bounds checking in nfs_fh_to_dentry() (CVE-2025-39730)

* kernel: mm: swap: fix potential buffer overflow in setup_clusters() (CVE-2025-39727)

* kernel: ALSA: hda/ca0132: Fix buffer overflow in add_tuning_control (CVE-2025-39751)

* kernel: wifi: cfg80211: sme: cap SSID length in __cfg80211_connect_result() (CVE-2025-39849)

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-2025:19106.
