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.

  - wifi: libertas: fix WARNING in usb_tx_block The function usb_tx_block() submits cardp->tx_urb without     ensuring that any previous transmission on this URB has completed. If a second call occurs while the URB     is still active (e.g. during rapid firmware loading), usb_submit_urb() detects the active state and     triggers a warning: 'URB submitted while active'. Fix this by enforcing serialization: call usb_kill_urb()     before submitting the new request. This ensures the URB is idle and safe to reuse. (CVE-2026-43255)

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