An update of the linux package has been released.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: fix MLE     defragmentation If either reconf or EPCS multi-link element (MLE) is contained in a non-transmitted     profile, the defragmentation routine is called with a pointer to the defragmented copy, but the original     elements. This is incorrect for two reasons: - if the original defragmentation was needed, it will not     find the correct data - if the original frame is at a higher address, the parsing will potentially overrun     the heap data (though given the layout of the buffers, only into the new defragmentation buffer, and then     it has to stop and fail once that's filled with copied data. Fix it by tracking the container along with     the pointer and in doing so also unify the two almost identical defragmentation routines. (CVE-2026-64515)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:65334 advisory.

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