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

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1783791447 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: phy: mdio: fix memory leak Syzbot     reported memory leak in MDIO bus interface, the problem was in wrong state logic. MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED     indicates 2 states: 1. Bus is only allocated 2. Bus allocated and __mdiobus_register() fails, but     device_register() was called In case of device_register() has been called we should call put_device() to     correctly free the memory allocated for this device, but mdiobus_free() calls just kfree(dev) in case of     MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED state To avoid this behaviour we need to set bus->state to MDIOBUS_UNREGISTERED _before_     calling device_register(), because put_device() should be called even in case of device_register()     failure. (CVE-2021-47416)

  - An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TeleTYpe subsystem. The issue occurs in how a     user triggers a race condition using ioctls TIOCSPTLCK and TIOCGPTPEER and TIOCSTI and TCXONC with leakage     of memory in the flush_to_ldisc function. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or read     unauthorized random data from memory. (CVE-2022-1462)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: isotp: sanitize CAN ID checks in     isotp_bind() Syzbot created an environment that lead to a state machine status that can not be reached     with a compliant CAN ID address configuration. The provided address information consisted of CAN ID     0x6000001 and 0xC28001 which both boil down to 11 bit CAN IDs 0x001 in sending and receiving. Sanitize the     SFF/EFF CAN ID values before performing the address checks. (CVE-2022-49269)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tty: fix deadlock caused by calling     printk() under tty_port->lock pty_write() invokes kmalloc() which may invoke a normal printk() to print     failure message. This can cause a deadlock in the scenario reported by syz-bot below: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 ----
    ---- ---- lock(console_owner); lock(&port_lock_key); lock(&port->lock); lock(&port_lock_key);
    lock(&port->lock); lock(console_owner); As commit dbdda842fe96 (printk: Add console owner and waiter     logic to load balance console writes) said, such deadlock can be prevented by using printk_deferred() in     kmalloc() (which is invoked in the section guarded by the port->lock). But there are too many printk() on     the kmalloc() path, and kmalloc() can be called from anywhere, so changing printk() to printk_deferred()     is too complicated and inelegant. Therefore, this patch chooses to specify __GFP_NOWARN to kmalloc(), so     that printk() will not be called, and this deadlock problem can be avoided. Syzbot reported the following     lockdep error: ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking     dependency detected 5.4.143-00237-g08ccc19a-dirty #10 Not tainted

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: list: fix a data-race around     ep->rdllist ep_poll() first calls ep_events_available() with no lock held and checks if ep->rdllist is     empty by list_empty_careful(), which reads rdllist->prev. Thus all accesses to it need some protection to     avoid store/load-tearing. Note INIT_LIST_HEAD_RCU() already has the annotation for both prev and next.
    Commit bf3b9f6372c4 (epoll: Add busy poll support to epoll with socket fds.) added the first lockless     ep_events_available(), and commit c5a282e9635e (fs/epoll: reduce the scope of wq lock in epoll_wait())     made some ep_events_available() calls lockless and added single call under a lock, finally commit     e59d3c64cba6 (epoll: eliminate unnecessary lock for zero timeout) made the last ep_events_available()     lockless.

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-299 advisory.

    An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.2. The ntfs3 subsystem does not properly check for     correctness during disk reads, leading to an out-of-bounds read in ntfs_set_ea in fs/ntfs3/xattr.c.
    (CVE-2022-48502)

    An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited     to achieve local privilege escalation.

    The qfq_change_agg() function in net/sched/sch_qfq.c allows an out-of-bounds write because lmax is updated     according to packet sizes without bounds checks.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 3e337087c3b5805fe0b8a46ba622a962880b5d64. (CVE-2023-3611)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_fw component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    If tcf_change_indev() fails, fw_set_parms() will immediately return an error after incrementing or     decrementing the reference counter in tcf_bind_filter(). If an attacker can control the reference counter     and set it to zero, they can cause the reference to be freed, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 0323bce598eea038714f941ce2b22541c46d488f. (CVE-2023-3776)

    An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in Netfilter Connection Tracking (conntrack) in the Linux     kernel. This flaw allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information via the DCCP protocol.
    (CVE-2023-39197)

    An issue was discovered in net/ceph/messenger_v2.c in the Linux kernel before 6.4.5. There is an integer     signedness error, leading to a buffer overflow and remote code execution via HELLO or one of the AUTH     frames. This occurs because of an untrusted length taken from a TCP packet in ceph_decode_32.
    (CVE-2023-44466)

    In the Linux kernel before 6.4.5, drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c has a use-after-free during a race     condition between a nonblocking atomic commit and a driver unload. (CVE-2023-51043)
