TencentOS Server 3: kernel (TSSA-2026:0284)

high Nessus Plugin ID 313021

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 3 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2026:0284 advisory.

 Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

 CVE-2026-31431:
 In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

 crypto: algif_aead - Revert to operating out-of-place

 This mostly reverts commit 72548b093ee3 except for the copying of the associated data.

 There is no benefit in operating in-place in algif_aead since the source and destination come from different mappings. Get rid of all the complexity added for in-place operation and just copy the AD directly.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
