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

  - wifi: ath6kl: fix use-after-free in aggr_reset_state() The aggr_reset_state() function uses timer_delete()     (non-synchronous) for the aggregation timer before proceeding to delete TID state and before the structure     is freed by callers like aggr_module_destroy(). If the timer callback (aggr_timeout) is executing when     aggr_reset_state() is called, the callback will continue to access aggr_conn fields like rx_tid[] and     stat[] which may be freed immediately after by kfree(aggr_info->aggr_conn) in aggr_module_destroy().
    Additionally, the timer callback can re-arm itself via mod_timer() while aggr_reset_state() is running,     creating a more complex race condition. Use timer_delete_sync() instead to ensure any running timer     callback has completed before returning. (CVE-2026-68198)

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

The remote Debian 13 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6466 advisory.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information     leaks.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 6.12.105-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

    For the detailed security status of linux please refer to its security     tracker page at:
