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: drm/i915/sseu: fix max_subslices     array-index-out-of-bounds access It seems that commit bc3c5e0809ae (drm/i915/sseu: Don't try to store EU     mask internally in UAPI format) exposed a potential out-of-bounds access, reported by UBSAN as following     on a laptop with a gen 11 i915 card: UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in     drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gt/intel_sseu.c:65:27 index 6 is out of range for type 'u16 [6]' CPU: 2 PID: 165     Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 6.2.0-9-generic #9-Ubuntu Hardware name: Dell Inc.

    According to the definition of sseu_dev_info, eu_mask->hsw is limited to a maximum of     GEN_MAX_SS_PER_HSW_SLICE (6) sub-slices, but gen11_sseu_info_init() can potentially set 8 sub-slices, in     the !IS_JSL_EHL(gt->i915) case. Fix this by reserving up to 8 slots for max_subslices in the eu_mask     struct. (cherry picked from commit 3cba09a6ac86ea1d456909626eb2685596c07822) (CVE-2023-53112)

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-148 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    KVM: VMX: Do _all_ initialization before exposing /dev/kvm to userspace (CVE-2022-49932)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel Performance Events system can be exploited to achieve     local privilege escalation.

    The perf_group_detach function did not check the event's siblings' attach_state before calling     add_event_to_groups(), but remove_on_exec made it possible to call list_del_event() on before detaching     from their group, making it possible to use a dangling pointer causing a use-after-free vulnerability.

    We recommend upgrading past commit fd0815f632c24878e325821943edccc7fde947a2. (CVE-2023-2235)

    do_tls_getsockopt in net/tls/tls_main.c in the Linux kernel through 6.2.6 lacks a lock_sock call, leading     to a race condition (with a resultant use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference). (CVE-2023-28466)

    An issue was discovered in arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.8. nVMX on x86_64     lacks consistency checks for CR0 and CR4. (CVE-2023-30456)

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1765463110 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: Reject attempts to consume or     refresh inactive gfn_to_pfn_cache Reject kvm_gpc_check() and kvm_gpc_refresh() if the cache is inactive.
    Not checking the active flag during refresh is particularly egregious, as KVM can end up with a valid,     inactive cache, which can lead to a variety of use-after-free bugs, e.g. consuming a NULL kernel pointer     or missing an mmu_notifier invalidation due to the cache not being on the list of gfns to invalidate.
    Note, active needs to be set if and only if the cache is on the list of caches, i.e. is reachable via     mmu_notifier events. If a relevant mmu_notifier event occurs while the cache is active but not on the     list, KVM will not acquire the cache's lock and so will not serailize the mmu_notifier event with active     users and/or kvm_gpc_refresh(). A race between KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_SHARED_INFO and KVM_XEN_HVM_EVTCHN_SEND     can be exploited to trigger the bug. 1. Deactivate shinfo cache: kvm_xen_hvm_set_attr case     KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_SHARED_INFO kvm_gpc_deactivate kvm_gpc_unmap gpc->valid = false gpc->khva = NULL     gpc->active = false Result: active = false, valid = false 2.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: coresight: Clear the connection field     properly coresight devices track their connections (output connections) and hold a reference to the     fwnode. When a device goes away, we walk through the devices on the coresight bus and make sure that the     references are dropped. This happens both ways: a) For all output connections from the device, drop the     reference to the target device via coresight_release_platform_data() b) Iterate over all the devices on     the coresight bus and drop the reference to fwnode if *this* device is the target of the output     connection, via coresight_remove_conns()->coresight_remove_match(). However, the coresight_remove_match()     doesn't clear the fwnode field, after dropping the reference, this causes use-after-free and additional     refcount drops on the fwnode. e.g., if we have two devices, A and B, with a connection, A -> B. If we     remove B first, B would clear the reference on B, from A via coresight_remove_match(). But when A is     removed, it still has a connection with fwnode still pointing to B. Thus it tries to drops the reference     in coresight_release_platform_data(), raising the bells like : [ 91.990153] ------------[ cut here     ]------------ [ 91.990163] refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: brcmfmac: Fix potential stack-     out-of-bounds in brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds() This patch fixes a stack-out-of-bounds read in brcmfmac that     occurs when 'buf' that is not null-terminated is passed as an argument of strsep() in     brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds(). This buffer is filled with a firmware version string by memcpy() in     brcmf_fil_iovar_data_get(). The patch ensures buf is null-terminated. Found by a modified version of     syzkaller.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netlink: prevent potential spectre v1     gadgets Most netlink attributes are parsed and validated from __nla_validate_parse() or validate_nla() u16     type = nla_type(nla); if (type == 0 || type > maxtype) { /* error or continue */ } @type is then used as     an array index and can be used as a Spectre v1 gadget. array_index_nospec() can be used to prevent leaking     content of kernel memory to malicious users. This should take care of vast majority of netlink uses, but     an audit is needed to take care of others where validation is not yet centralized in core netlink     functions. (CVE-2023-53000)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: mpi3mr: Bad drive in topology     results kernel crash When the SAS Transport Layer support is enabled and a device exposed to the OS by the     driver fails INQUIRY commands, the driver frees up the memory allocated for an internal HBA port data     structure. However, in some places, the reference to the freed memory is not cleared. When the firmware     sends the Device Info change event for the same device again, the freed memory is accessed and that leads     to memory corruption and OS crash. (CVE-2023-53037)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:02173-1 advisory.

    The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP5 kernel was updated to receive various security bugfixes.


    The following security bugs were fixed:

    - CVE-2022-49775: tcp: cdg: allow tcp_cdg_release() to be called multiple times (bsc#1242245).
    - CVE-2024-53168: net: make sock_inuse_add() available (bsc#1234887).
    - CVE-2024-56558: nfsd: make sure exp active before svc_export_show (bsc#1235100).
    - CVE-2025-21999: proc: fix UAF in proc_get_inode() (bsc#1240802).
    - CVE-2025-22056: netfilter: nft_tunnel: fix geneve_opt type confusion addition (bsc#1241525).
    - CVE-2025-23145: mptcp: fix NULL pointer in can_accept_new_subflow (bsc#1242596).
    - CVE-2025-37789: net: openvswitch: fix nested key length validation in the set() action (bsc#1242762).
    - CVE-2024-28956: x86/its: Add support for ITS-safe indirect thunk (bsc#1242006).
    - CVE-2025-37785: ext4: fix OOB read when checking dotdot dir (bsc#1241640).
