Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-13609

critical Nessus Plugin ID 276663

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

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

 - A vulnerability has been identified in keylime where an attacker can exploit this flaw by registering a new agent using a different Trusted Platform Module (TPM) device but claiming an existing agent's unique identifier (UUID). This action overwrites the legitimate agent's identity, enabling the attacker to impersonate the compromised agent and potentially bypass security controls. (CVE-2025-13609)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
