The Rocky Linux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1779434490 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: configfs: fix a race in     configfs_{,un}register_subsystem() When configfs_register_subsystem() or configfs_unregister_subsystem()     is executing link_group() or unlink_group(), it is possible that two processes add or delete list     concurrently. Some unfortunate interleavings of them can cause kernel panic. One of cases is: A --> B -->     C --> D A <-- B <-- C <-- D delete list_head *B | delete list_head *C
    --------------------------------|----------------------------------- configfs_unregister_subsystem |     configfs_unregister_subsystem unlink_group | unlink_group unlink_obj | unlink_obj list_del_init |     list_del_init __list_del_entry | __list_del_entry __list_del | __list_del // next == C | next->prev = prev     | | next->prev = prev prev->next = next | | // prev == B | prev->next = next Fix this by adding mutex when     calling link_group() or unlink_group(), but parent configfs_subsystem is NULL when config_item is root. So     I create a mutex configfs_subsystem_mutex. (CVE-2022-48931)

  - 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.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ima: Fix potential memory leak in     ima_init_crypto() On failure to allocate the SHA1 tfm, IMA fails to initialize and exits without freeing     the ima_algo_array. Add the missing kfree() for ima_algo_array to avoid the potential memory leak.
    (CVE-2022-49627)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing/histograms: Fix memory leak     problem This reverts commit 46bbe5c671e06f070428b9be142cc4ee5cedebac. As commit 46bbe5c671e0 (tracing:
    fix double free) said, the double free problem reported by clang static analyzer is: > In     parse_var_defs() if there is a problem allocating > var_defs.expr, the earlier var_defs.name is freed. >     This free is duplicated by free_var_defs() which frees > the rest of the list. However, if there is a     problem allocating N-th var_defs.expr: + in parse_var_defs(), the freed 'earlier var_defs.name' is     actually the N-th var_defs.name; + then in free_var_defs(), the names from 0th to (N-1)-th are freed; IF     ALLOCATING PROBLEM HAPPENED HERE!!! -+ \ | 0th 1th (N-1)-th N-th V     +-------------+-------------+-----+-------------+----------- var_defs: | name | expr | name | expr | ... |     name | expr | name | /// +-------------+-------------+-----+-------------+----------- These two frees     don't act on same name, so there was no double free problem before. Conversely, after that commit, we     get a memory leak problem because the above N-th var_defs.name is not freed. If enable     CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK and inject a fault at where the N-th var_defs.expr allocated, then execute on shell     like: $ echo 'hist:key=call_site:val=$v1,$v2:v1=bytes_req,v2=bytes_alloc' > \     /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger Then kmemleak reports: unreferenced object     0xffff8fb100ef3518 (size 8): comm bash, pid 196, jiffies 4295681690 (age 28.538s) hex dump (first 8     bytes): 76 31 00 00 b1 8f ff ff v1...... backtrace: [<0000000038fe4895>] kstrdup+0x2d/0x60     [<00000000c99c049a>] event_hist_trigger_parse+0x206f/0x20e0 [<00000000ae70d2cc>]     trigger_process_regex+0xc0/0x110 [<0000000066737a4c>] event_trigger_write+0x75/0xd0 [<000000007341e40c>]     vfs_write+0xbb/0x2a0 [<0000000087fde4c2>] ksys_write+0x59/0xd0 [<00000000581e9cdf>]     do_syscall_64+0x3a/0x80 [<00000000cf3b065c>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 (CVE-2022-49648)

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.

    me_swapcache_dirty() clears uptodate flag and tries to delete from lru, but fails. Reclaim process will     put the hwpoisoned page back to lru. 2) The process that maps the hwpoisoned page exits, the page is     deleted the page will never be freed and will be in the lru forever. 3) If we trigger a reclaim again and     tries to reclaim the page, add_to_swap() will trigger VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO due to the uptodate flag is cleared.
    To fix it, skip the hwpoisoned page in shrink_folio_list(). Besides, the hwpoison folio may not be     unmapped by hwpoison_user_mappings() yet, unmap it in shrink_folio_list(), otherwise the folio will fail     to be unmaped by hwpoison_user_mappings() since the folio isn't in lru list.
