Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

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: vsock/virtio: account only unread     bytes in read_skb() After a partial stream receive, rx_bytes tracks the unread suffix while buf_used and     peer credit still cover the whole packet. virtio_transport_read_skb() dequeues that packet but passes     pkt_len for both counters, underflowing rx_bytes. On a connected CID_LOCAL stream with an SK_SKB verdict,     a 40-byte read from a 100-byte packet made SIOCINQ report -40, an empty recv return ELOOP, and poll report     the empty socket readable. After verdict detach, receiving 40 bytes wrapped the counter to zero and hid     those queued bytes until one more byte arrived. The fixed run kept the counter balanced and exposed all     queued data immediately. This was found during an LLM-assisted manual source audit of VSOCK receive     accounting while re-evaluating virtio_transport_read_skb() after CVE-2024-50169. Subtract only skb->len     minus the VSOCK offset from rx_bytes. Retain the full packet length for buf_used and peer credit.
    (CVE-2026-99062)

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