The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / 25.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8094-1 advisory.

    Qualys discovered that several vulnerabilities existed in the AppArmor Linux kernel Security Module (LSM).
    An unprivileged local attacker could use these issues to load, replace, and remove arbitrary AppArmor     profiles causing denial of service, exposure of sensitive information (kernel memory), local privilege     escalation, or possibly escape a container. (LP: #2143853)

    It was discovered that some AMD Zen 5 processors supporting RDSEED instruction did not properly handle     entropy, potentially resulting in the consumption of insufficiently random values. A local attacker could     possibly use this issue to influence the values returned by the RDSEED instruction causing loss of     confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2025-62626)

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.

  - net: core: prevent NULL deref in generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower() The ethtool tsconfig Netlink path can     trigger a null pointer dereference. A call chain such as: tsconfig_prepare_data() ->     dev_get_hwtstamp_phylib() -> vlan_hwtstamp_get() -> generic_hwtstamp_get_lower() ->     generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower() results in generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower() being called with kernel_cfg->ifr     as NULL. The generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower() function does not expect a NULL ifr and dereferences it,     leading to a system crash. Fix this by adding a NULL check for kernel_cfg->ifr in     generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower(). If ifr is NULL, return -EINVAL. (CVE-2025-40255)

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