The CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS-STREAM8:CLSA-2026:1780132980 advisory.

  - kernel/module.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.14 mishandles Signature Verification, aka     CID-0c18f29aae7c. Without CONFIG_MODULE_SIG, verification that a kernel module is signed, for loading via     init_module, does not occur for a module.sig_enforce=1 command-line argument. (CVE-2021-35039)

  - In drivers/char/virtio_console.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4, data corruption or loss can be     triggered by an untrusted device that supplies a buf->len value exceeding the buffer size. NOTE: the     vendor indicates that the cited data corruption is not a vulnerability in any existing use case; the     length validation was added solely for robustness in the face of anomalous host OS behavior     (CVE-2021-38160)

  - There are use-after-free vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_connect     and l2cap_le_connect_req functions which may allow code execution and leaking kernel memory (respectively)     remotely via Bluetooth. A remote attacker could execute code leaking kernel memory via Bluetooth if within     proximity of the victim. We recommend upgrading past commit https://www.google.com/url     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/711f8c3fb3db61897080468586b970c87c61d9e4     https://www.google.com/url (CVE-2022-42896)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix potential double free in     create_var_ref() In create_var_ref(), init_var_ref() is called to initialize the fields of variable     ref_field, which is allocated in the previous function call to create_hist_field(). Function     init_var_ref() allocates the corresponding fields such as ref_field->system, but frees these fields when     the function encounters an error. The caller later calls destroy_hist_field() to conduct error handling,     which frees the fields and the variable itself. This results in double free of the fields which are     already freed in the previous function. Fix this by storing NULL to the corresponding fields when they are     freed in init_var_ref(). (CVE-2022-49410)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: elan: Fix potential double free     in elan_input_configured 'input' is a managed resource allocated with devm_input_allocate_device(), so     there is no need to call input_free_device() explicitly or there will be a double free. According to the     doc of devm_input_allocate_device(): * Managed input devices do not need to be explicitly unregistered or
    * freed as it will be done automatically when owner device unbinds from * its driver (or binding fails).
    (CVE-2022-49508)

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