Fedora 44 : kernel (2026-e57251bf72)

high Nessus Plugin ID 338830

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Fedora 44 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-e57251bf72 advisory.

 The 7.1.9 stable kernel update contains a number of important updates across the tree. We are now specifying all kernel updates as security because upstream will assign CVEs, but we will not know what those are until a bit after this update ships.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora 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 kernel package.
