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.

 - Bluetooth: ISO: hold sk properly in iso_conn_ready sk deref in iso_conn_ready must be done either under conn->lock, or holding a refcount, to avoid concurrent close. conn->sk is currently accessed without either: [Task 1] [Task 2] iso_sock_release iso_conn_ready sk = conn->sk lock_sock(sk) conn->sk = NULL lock_sock(sk) release_sock(sk) iso_sock_kill(sk) UAF on sk deref Fix possible UAF by holding sk refcount in iso_conn_ready(). Also recheck after lock_sock that the socket is still valid. Adjust locking so conn->sk is cleared only under lock_sock. (CVE-2026-74537)

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