Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-123876

medium Nessus Plugin ID 377118

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.

 - A flaw was found in the default seccomp profile used by Podman via containers-common. Deny rules for AF_VSOCK and NETLINK_AUDIT compared socket arguments with unmasked 64-bit equality. Because the kernel truncates those int arguments to 32 bits, setting upper bits can bypass the deny rules. (CVE-2026-123876)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
