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

  - idpf: fix error handling in the init_task on load If the init_task fails during a driver load, we end up     without vports and netdevs, effectively failing the entire process. In that state a subsequent reset will     result in a crash as the service task attempts to access uninitialized resources. Following trace is from     an error in the init_task where the CREATE_VPORT (op 501) is rejected by the FW: [40922.763136] idpf     0000:83:00.0: Device HW Reset initiated [40924.449797] idpf 0000:83:00.0: Transaction failed (op 501)     [40958.148190] idpf 0000:83:00.0: HW reset detected [40958.161202] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference,     address: 00000000000000a8 ...

These are     started in idpf_vc_core_init(), which spawns the init_task and has no way of knowing if it failed. If the     error happens on reset, following successful driver load, the tasks can still run, as that will allow the     netdevs to attempt recovery through another reset. Stop the PTP callbacks either way as those will be     restarted by the call to idpf_vc_core_init() during a successful reset. (CVE-2026-23017)

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

The Rocky Linux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1782155469 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udf: Fix preallocation discarding at     indirect extent boundary When preallocation extent is the first one in the extent block, the code would     corrupt extent tree header instead. Fix the problem and use udf_delete_aext() for deleting extent to avoid     some code duplication. (CVE-2022-48946)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xen/privcmd: fix error exit of     privcmd_ioctl_dm_op() The error exit of privcmd_ioctl_dm_op() is calling unlock_pages() potentially with     pages being NULL, leading to a NULL dereference. Additionally lock_pages() doesn't check for     pin_user_pages_fast() having been completely successful, resulting in potentially not locking all pages     into memory. This could result in sporadic failures when using the related memory in user mode. Fix all of     that by calling unlock_pages() always with the real number of pinned pages, which will be zero in case     pages being NULL, and by checking the number of pages pinned by pin_user_pages_fast() matching the     expected number of pages. (CVE-2022-49989)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: mxm-wmi: fix memleak in     mxm_wmi_call_mx[ds|mx]() The ACPI buffer memory (out.pointer) returned by wmi_evaluate_method() is not     freed after the call, so it leads to memory leak. The method results in ACPI buffer is not used, so just     pass NULL to wmi_evaluate_method() which fixes the memory leak. (CVE-2022-50521)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: USB: Fix wrong-direction WARNING     in plusb.c The syzbot fuzzer detected a bug in the plusb network driver: A zero-length control-OUT     transfer was treated as a read instead of a write. In modern kernels this error provokes a WARNING: usb     1-1: BOGUS control dir, pipe 80000280 doesn't match bRequestType c0 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 4645 at     drivers/usb/core/urb.c:411 usb_submit_urb+0x14a7/0x1880 drivers/usb/core/urb.c:411 Modules linked in: CPU:

(CVE-2023-52742)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Make sure trace_printk() can     output as soon as it can be used Currently trace_printk() can be used as soon as early_trace_init() is     called from start_kernel(). But if a crash happens, and ftrace_dump_on_oops is set on the kernel command     line, all you get will be: [ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 347519us : Unknown type 6 [ 0.456075] <idle>-0     0dN.2. 353141us : Unknown type 6 [ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 358684us : Unknown type 6 This is because the     trace_printk() event (type 6) hasn't been registered yet. That gets done via an early_initcall(), which     may be early, but not early enough. Instead of registering the trace_printk() event (and other ftrace     events, which are not trace events) via an early_initcall(), have them registered at the same time that     trace_printk() can be used. This way, if there is a crash before early_initcall(), then the     trace_printk()s will actually be useful. (CVE-2023-53007)

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

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 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1782155469 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udf: Fix preallocation discarding at     indirect extent boundary When preallocation extent is the first one in the extent block, the code would     corrupt extent tree header instead. Fix the problem and use udf_delete_aext() for deleting extent to avoid     some code duplication. (CVE-2022-48946)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xen/privcmd: fix error exit of     privcmd_ioctl_dm_op() The error exit of privcmd_ioctl_dm_op() is calling unlock_pages() potentially with     pages being NULL, leading to a NULL dereference. Additionally lock_pages() doesn't check for     pin_user_pages_fast() having been completely successful, resulting in potentially not locking all pages     into memory. This could result in sporadic failures when using the related memory in user mode. Fix all of     that by calling unlock_pages() always with the real number of pinned pages, which will be zero in case     pages being NULL, and by checking the number of pages pinned by pin_user_pages_fast() matching the     expected number of pages. (CVE-2022-49989)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: mxm-wmi: fix memleak in     mxm_wmi_call_mx[ds|mx]() The ACPI buffer memory (out.pointer) returned by wmi_evaluate_method() is not     freed after the call, so it leads to memory leak. The method results in ACPI buffer is not used, so just     pass NULL to wmi_evaluate_method() which fixes the memory leak. (CVE-2022-50521)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: USB: Fix wrong-direction WARNING     in plusb.c The syzbot fuzzer detected a bug in the plusb network driver: A zero-length control-OUT     transfer was treated as a read instead of a write. In modern kernels this error provokes a WARNING: usb     1-1: BOGUS control dir, pipe 80000280 doesn't match bRequestType c0 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 4645 at     drivers/usb/core/urb.c:411 usb_submit_urb+0x14a7/0x1880 drivers/usb/core/urb.c:411 Modules linked in: CPU:

(CVE-2023-52742)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Make sure trace_printk() can     output as soon as it can be used Currently trace_printk() can be used as soon as early_trace_init() is     called from start_kernel(). But if a crash happens, and ftrace_dump_on_oops is set on the kernel command     line, all you get will be: [ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 347519us : Unknown type 6 [ 0.456075] <idle>-0     0dN.2. 353141us : Unknown type 6 [ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 358684us : Unknown type 6 This is because the     trace_printk() event (type 6) hasn't been registered yet. That gets done via an early_initcall(), which     may be early, but not early enough. Instead of registering the trace_printk() event (and other ftrace     events, which are not trace events) via an early_initcall(), have them registered at the same time that     trace_printk() can be used. This way, if there is a crash before early_initcall(), then the     trace_printk()s will actually be useful. (CVE-2023-53007)
