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.

  - idpf: fix memory leak of flow steer list on rmmod The flow steering list maintains entries that are added     and removed as ethtool creates and deletes flow steering rules. Module removal with active entries causes     memory leak as the list is not properly cleaned up. Prevent this by iterating through the remaining     entries in the list and freeing the associated memory during module removal. Add a spinlock     (flow_steer_list_lock) to protect the list access from multiple threads. (CVE-2026-23024)

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