The CentOS Linux 8.5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS8.5:CLSA-2026:1768775579 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in slc_bump in drivers/net/can/slcan.c in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.6.2. It     allows attackers to read uninitialized can_frame data, potentially containing sensitive information from     kernel stack memory, if the configuration lacks CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL, aka CID-b9258a2cece4.
    (CVE-2020-11494)

  - An out-of-bounds(OOB) memory access vulnerability was found in vmwgfx driver in     drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_kms.c in GPU component in the Linux kernel with device file '/dev/dri/renderD128     (or Dxxx)'. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user account on the system to gain privilege, causing     a denial of service(DoS). (CVE-2022-36280)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ath9k_htc: fix potential out of bounds     access with invalid rxstatus->rs_keyix The rxstatus->rs_keyix eventually gets passed to test_bit() so we     need to ensure that it is within the bitmap. drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/common.c:46     ath9k_cmn_rx_accept() error: passing untrusted data 'rx_stats->rs_keyix' to 'test_bit()' (CVE-2022-49503)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ata: libata-transport: fix double     ata_host_put() in ata_tport_add() In the error path in ata_tport_add(), when calling put_device(),     ata_tport_release() is called, it will put the refcount of 'ap->host'. And then ata_host_put() is called     again, the refcount is decreased to 0, ata_host_release() is called, all ports are freed and set to null.
    When unbinding the device after failure, ata_host_stop() is called to release the resources, it leads a     null-ptr-deref(), because all the ports all freed and null.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPICA: Fix error code path in     acpi_ds_call_control_method() A use-after-free in acpi_ps_parse_aml() after a failing invocaion of     acpi_ds_call_control_method() is reported by KASAN [1] and code inspection reveals that next_walk_state     pushed to the thread by acpi_ds_create_walk_state() is freed on errors, but it is not popped from the     thread beforehand. Thus acpi_ds_get_current_walk_state() called by acpi_ps_parse_aml() subsequently     returns it as the new walk state which is incorrect. To address this, make acpi_ds_call_control_method()     call acpi_ds_pop_walk_state() to pop next_walk_state from the thread before returning an error.

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1768663754 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ice: set tx_tstamps when creating new     Tx rings via ethtool When the user changes the number of queues via ethtool, the driver allocates new     rings. This allocation did not initialize tx_tstamps. This results in the tx_tstamps field being zero (due     to kcalloc allocation), and would result in a NULL pointer dereference when attempting a transmit     timestamp on the new ring. (CVE-2022-50710)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath9k: Fix use-after-free in     ath9k_hif_usb_disconnect() This patch fixes a use-after-free in ath9k that occurs in     ath9k_hif_usb_disconnect() when ath9k_destroy_wmi() is trying to access 'drv_priv' that has already been     freed by ieee80211_free_hw(), called by ath9k_htc_hw_deinit(). The patch moves ath9k_destroy_wmi() before     ieee80211_free_hw(). Note that urbs from the driver should be killed before freeing 'wmi' with     ath9k_destroy_wmi() as their callbacks will access 'wmi'. Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: allow exp not to be removed     in nf_ct_find_expectation Currently nf_conntrack_in() calling nf_ct_find_expectation() will remove the exp     from the hash table. However, in some scenario, we expect the exp not to be removed when the created ct     will not be confirmed, like in OVS and TC conntrack in the following patches. This patch allows exp not to     be removed by setting IPS_CONFIRMED in the status of the tmpl. (CVE-2023-52927)

This is because that on load     balance if the dst_cpu is not allowed by the task, we'll re-select a new_dst_cpu as a candidate. If no     task can be balanced to dst_cpu we'll try to balance the task to the new_dst_cpu instead. In this case     when the migration disabled task is not on CPU it only allows to run on its current CPU, load balance will     select its current CPU as new_dst_cpu and later triggers the warning above. The new_dst_cpu is chosen from     the env->dst_grpmask. Currently it contains CPUs in sched_group_span() and if we have overlapped groups     it's possible to run into this case. This patch makes env->dst_grpmask of group_balance_mask() which     exclude any CPUs from the busiest group and solve the issue. For balancing in a domain with no overlapped     groups the behaviour keeps same as before. (CVE-2023-53215)

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.

  - ice: set tx_tstamps when creating new Tx rings via ethtool When the user changes the number of queues via     ethtool, the driver allocates new rings. This allocation did not initialize tx_tstamps. This results in     the tx_tstamps field being zero (due to kcalloc allocation), and would result in a NULL pointer     dereference when attempting a transmit timestamp on the new ring. (CVE-2022-50710)

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