Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-61730

medium Nessus Plugin ID 290246

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.

- During the TLS 1.3 handshake if multiple messages are sent in records that span encryption level boundaries (for instance the Client Hello and Encrypted Extensions messages), the subsequent messages may be processed before the encryption level changes. This can cause some minor information disclosure if a network-local attacker can inject messages during the handshake. (CVE-2025-61730)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
