An update of the linux package has been released.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - net/ip6_tunnel: Prevent perpetual tunnel growth Similarly to ipv4 tunnel, ipv6 version updates     dev->needed_headroom, too. While ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment growth was limited in commit 5ae1e9922bbd     (net: ip_tunnel: prevent perpetual headroom growth), ipv6 tunnel yet increases the headroom without any     ceiling. Reflect ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment limit on ipv6 version. Credits to Francesco Ruggeri, who     was originally debugging this issue and wrote local Arista-specific patch and a reproducer.
    (CVE-2025-40173)

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

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-4379 advisory.
