medium Nessus Plugin ID 375554

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:94477 advisory.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: net/sched: ets: Always remove class from active list before deleting in ets_qdisc_change (CVE-2025-71066)

* kernel: HID: wacom: fix out-of-bounds read in wacom_intuos_bt_irq (CVE-2026-43051)

* kernel: procfs: fix missing RCU protection when reading real_parent in do_task_stat() (CVE-2026-46259)

* kernel: dm cache policy smq: fix missing locks in invalidating cache blocks (CVE-2026-53062)

* kernel: Bluetooth: hci_ldisc: Clear HCI_UART_PROTO_INIT on error (CVE-2026-53073)

* kernel: netfilter: synproxy: refresh tcphdr after skb_ensure_writable (CVE-2026-64007)

* kernel: nvmet-tcp: check INIT_FAILED before nvmet_req_uninit in digest error path (CVE-2026-64534)

* kernel: scsi: libiscsi_tcp: Bound SCSI Response data segment to the connection buffer (CVE-2026-74556)

* kernel: nvme-tcp: fix host memory disclosure on R2T for a read command (CVE-2026-89481)

* kernel: ipv4: free inet_opt and ireq_opt after an RCU grace period (CVE-2026-98432)

* kernel: ZDI-CAN-33367: Linux Kernel skbuff skb_zerocopy Improper Ownership Management Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability ()

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

* The Kernel panic occurred at strlen+0x0 because a race event filter treats the user space pointer as a normal pointer (JIRA:RHEL-291138)
