Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1767864313 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware: arm_scpi: Ensure scpi_info     is not assigned if the probe fails When scpi probe fails, at any point, we need to ensure that the     scpi_info is not set and will remain NULL until the probe succeeds. If it is not taken care, then it could     result use-after-free as the value is exported via get_scpi_ops() and could refer to a memory allocated     via devm_kzalloc() but freed when the probe fails. (CVE-2022-50087)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtlwifi: Fix global-out-of-     bounds bug in _rtl8812ae_phy_set_txpower_limit() There is a global-out-of-bounds reported by KASAN: BUG:
    KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in _rtl8812ae_eq_n_byte.part.0+0x3d/0x84 [rtl8821ae] Read of size 1 at addr     ffffffffa0773c43 by task NetworkManager/411 CPU: 6 PID: 411 Comm: NetworkManager Tainted: G D 6.1.0-rc8+     #144 e15588508517267d37 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), Call Trace: <TASK> ...
    kasan_report+0xbb/0x1c0 _rtl8812ae_eq_n_byte.part.0+0x3d/0x84 [rtl8821ae]     rtl8821ae_phy_bb_config.cold+0x346/0x641 [rtl8821ae] rtl8821ae_hw_init+0x1f5e/0x79b0 [rtl8821ae] ...
    </TASK> The root cause of the problem is that the comparison order of prate_section in
    _rtl8812ae_phy_set_txpower_limit() is wrong. The _rtl8812ae_eq_n_byte() is used to compare the first n     bytes of the two strings from tail to head, which causes the problem. In the
    _rtl8812ae_phy_set_txpower_limit(), it was originally intended to meet this requirement by carefully     designing the comparison order. For example, pregulation and pbandwidth are compared in order of     length from small to large, first is 3 and last is 4. However, the comparison order of prate_section     dose not obey such order requirement, therefore when prate_section is HT, when comparing from tail to     head, it will lead to access out of bounds in _rtl8812ae_eq_n_byte(). As mentioned above, the
    _rtl8812ae_eq_n_byte() has the same function as strcmp(), so just strcmp() is enough. Fix it by removing
    _rtl8812ae_eq_n_byte() and use strcmp() barely. Although it can be fixed by adjusting the comparison order     of prate_section, this may cause the value of rate_section to not be from 0 to 5. In addition, commit     21e4b0726dc6 not only moved driver from staging to regular tree, but also added setting txpower limit     function during the driver config phase, so the problem was introduced by this commit. (CVE-2022-50279)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath11k: fix monitor mode bringup     crash When the interface is brought up in monitor mode, it leads to NULL pointer dereference crash. This     crash happens when the packet type is extracted for a SKB. This extraction which is present in the     received msdu delivery path,is not needed for the monitor ring packets since they are all RAW packets.
    Hence appending the flags with RX_FLAG_ONLY_MONITOR to skip that extraction.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm: hugetlb: fix UAF in     hugetlb_handle_userfault The vma_lock and hugetlb_fault_mutex are dropped before handling userfault and     reacquire them again after handle_userfault(), but reacquire the vma_lock could lead to UAF[1,2] due to     the following race, hugetlb_fault hugetlb_no_page /*unlock vma_lock */ hugetlb_handle_userfault     handle_userfault /* unlock mm->mmap_lock*/ vm_mmap_pgoff do_mmap mmap_region munmap_vma_range /* clean old     vma */ /* lock vma_lock again <--- UAF */ /* unlock vma_lock */ Since the vma_lock will unlock immediately     after hugetlb_handle_userfault(), let's drop the unneeded lock and unlock in hugetlb_handle_userfault() to     fix the issue.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: Fix pci_device_is_present() for     VFs by checking PF pci_device_is_present() previously didn't work for VFs because it reads the Vendor and     Device ID, which are 0xffff for VFs, which looks like they aren't present. Check the PF instead. Wei Gong     reported that if virtio I/O is in progress when the driver is unbound or 0 is written to     /sys/.../sriov_numvfs, the virtio I/O operation hangs, which may result in output like this: task:bash     state:D stack: 0 pid: 1773 ppid: 1241 flags:0x00004002 Call Trace: schedule+0x4f/0xc0     blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait+0x69/0xa0 blk_mq_freeze_queue+0x1b/0x20 blk_cleanup_queue+0x3d/0xd0     virtblk_remove+0x3c/0xb0 [virtio_blk] virtio_dev_remove+0x4b/0x80 ... device_unregister+0x1b/0x60     unregister_virtio_device+0x18/0x30 virtio_pci_remove+0x41/0x80 pci_device_remove+0x3e/0xb0 This happened     because pci_device_is_present(VF) returned false in virtio_pci_remove(), so it called     virtio_break_device(). The broken vq meant that vring_interrupt() skipped the vq.callback() that would     have completed the virtio I/O operation via virtblk_done().

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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.

  - dmaengine: ptdma: check for null desc before calling pt_cmd_callback Resolves a panic that can occur on     AMD systems, typically during host shutdown, after the PTDMA driver had been exercised. The issue was the     pt_issue_pending() function is mistakenly assuming that there will be at least one descriptor in the     Submitted queue when the function is called. However, it is possible that both the Submitted and Issued     queues could be empty, which could result in pt_cmd_callback() being mistakenly called with a NULL     pointer. Ref: Bugzilla Bug 216856. (CVE-2023-53755)

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