high Nessus Plugin ID 298796

Synopsis

The remote AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote AlmaLinux 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2026:2282 advisory.

 * kernel: Linux kernel: Memory corruption in Squashfs due to incorrect block size calculation (CVE-2025-38415)
 * kernel: vsock/vmci: Clear the vmci transport packet properly when initializing it (CVE-2025-38403)
 * kernel: Linux kernel: Data corruption and system instability due to improper io_uring/net buffer handling (CVE-2025-38730)
 * kernel: smb: client: let recv_done verify data_offset, data_length and remaining_data_length (CVE-2025-39933)
 * kernel: mptcp: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in mptcp_active_enable() (CVE-2025-40133)
 * kernel: Linux kernel: Out-of-bounds write in fbdev can lead to privilege escalation, information disclosure, or denial of service. (CVE-2025-40304)
 * kernel: Linux kernel: Information disclosure and denial of service via out-of-bounds read in font glyph handling (CVE-2025-40322)
 * kernel: svcrdma: use rc_pageoff for memcpy byte offset (CVE-2025-68811)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the AlmaLinux 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 affected packages.
