The remote SUSE Linux SLES16 / SLES_SAP16 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:22851-1 advisory.

    This update for wpa_supplicant fixes the following issues

    - CVE-2026-58374: Fixed a missing bounds check in AP-mode Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) MLO association request     processing allows an       unauthenticated user to send a crafted management frame and cause an out-of-bounds write (bsc#1269892).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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 a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1784037722 advisory.

  - In hostapd before 2.12, a missing bounds check in AP-mode Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) Multi-Link Operation     (MLO) association request processing allows an unauthenticated attacker within wireless range to send a     crafted management frame containing a malformed Multi-Link Element or Per-STA Profile subelement. In     hostapd_process_ml_assoc_req() in src/ap/ieee802_11_eht.c, the received link_id field can be parsed as     value 15, but the corresponding links[] storage only has valid entries for lower link IDs (0 through 14).
    This causes an out-of-bounds write / small memory corruption during association processing before the     4-way handshake. The attack does not require network credentials, prior authentication, or user     interaction. The confirmed practical impact is denial of service through hostapd process termination. This     affects hostapd v2.11 and newer development snapshots before v2.12 when built with CONFIG_IEEE80211BE     enabled. The issue is fixed in hostapd v2.12 and the upstream 2026-1 fixes. (CVE-2026-58374)
