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: erspan: Initialize options_len before     referencing options. The struct ip_tunnel_info has a flexible array member named options that is protected     by a counted_by(options_len) attribute. The compiler will use this information to enforce runtime bounds     checking deployed by FORTIFY_SOURCE string helpers. As laid out in the GCC documentation, the counter must     be initialized before the first reference to the flexible array member. After scanning through the files     that use struct ip_tunnel_info and also refer to options or options_len, it appears the normal case is to     use the ip_tunnel_info_opts_set() helper. Said helper would initialize options_len properly before copying     data into options, however in the GRE ERSPAN code a partial update is done, preventing the use of the     helper function. Before this change the handling of ERSPAN traffic in GRE tunnels would cause a kernel     panic when the kernel is compiled with GCC 15+ and having FORTIFY_SOURCE configured: memcpy: detected     buffer overflow: 4 byte write of buffer size 0 Call Trace: <IRQ> __fortify_panic+0xd/0xf     erspan_rcv.cold+0x68/0x83 ? ip_route_input_slow+0x816/0x9d0 gre_rcv+0x1b2/0x1c0 gre_rcv+0x8e/0x100 ?     raw_v4_input+0x2a0/0x2b0 ip_protocol_deliver_rcu+0x1ea/0x210 ip_local_deliver_finish+0x86/0x110     ip_local_deliver+0x65/0x110 ? ip_rcv_finish_core+0xd6/0x360 ip_rcv+0x186/0x1a0 Reported-at:

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

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)
