In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sysctl: Fix data races in proc_douintvec_minmax(). A sysctl variable is accessed concurrently, and there is always a chance of data-race. So, all readers and writers need some basic protection to avoid load/store-tearing. This patch changes proc_douintvec_minmax() to use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side. For now, proc_douintvec_minmax() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still need to add annotations on the other subsystem's side.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:1293-1 advisory.

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.10.135-122.509. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.10-2025-086 advisory.

    An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TeleTYpe subsystem. The issue occurs in how a     user triggers a race condition using ioctls TIOCSPTLCK and TIOCGPTPEER and TIOCSTI and TCXONC with leakage     of memory in the flush_to_ldisc function. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or read     unauthorized random data from memory. (CVE-2022-1462)

    A bug in the IMA subsystem was discovered which would incorrectly allow kexec to be used when kernel     lockdown was enabled (CVE-2022-21505)

    A flaw was found in hw. Aliases in the branch predictor may cause some AMD processors to predict the wrong     branch type, potentially leading to information disclosure. (CVE-2022-23825)

    Non-transparent sharing of return predictor targets between contexts in some Intel(R) Processors may allow     an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-26373)

    A flaw was found in hw. The unprotected alternative channel of return branch target prediction in some     Intel(R) Processors may allow an authorized user to enable information disclosure via local access.
    (CVE-2022-28693)

    A flaw was found in hw. Mis-trained branch predictions for return instructions may allow arbitrary     speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions. (CVE-2022-29900)

    Intel microprocessor generations 6 to 8 are affected by a new Spectre variant that is able to bypass their     retpoline mitigation in the kernel to leak arbitrary data. An attacker with unprivileged user access can     hijack return instructions to achieve arbitrary speculative code execution under certain     microarchitecture-dependent conditions. (CVE-2022-29901)

    A memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XEN hypervisor for the virtual machine. This flaw     allows a local user to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2022-36123)

    An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.14. xfrm_expand_policies in     net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c can cause a refcount to be dropped twice. (CVE-2022-36879)

    A memory corruption flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Netfilter subsystem in the way a local user uses     the libnetfilter_queue when analyzing a corrupted network packet. This flaw allows a local user to crash     the system or a remote user to crash the system when the libnetfilter_queue is used by a local user.

    A NULL pointer dereference issue was found in the SCTP network protocol in net/sctp/stream_sched.c in the     Linux kernel. If stream_in allocation fails, stream_out is freed, which would be accessed further. This     flaw allows a local user to crash the system or potentially cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-2177)

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.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sysctl: Fix data races in     proc_douintvec_minmax(). A sysctl variable is accessed concurrently, and there is always a chance of data-     race. So, all readers and writers need some basic protection to avoid load/store-tearing. This patch     changes proc_douintvec_minmax() to use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the     sysctl side. For now, proc_douintvec_minmax() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still need to add     annotations on the other subsystem's side. (CVE-2022-49640)

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