"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
ALINUX3-SA-2026:0325 advisory.
Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2026-0799:
In BPF instructions that load/store a value from/to a scratch memory register the register index is an
unsigned 32-bit integer and must not exceed 15, but libpcap BPF interpreter does not validate the value.
In particular uncommon use cases a crafted filter program can cause the interpreter to try reading and
writing the OS process memory in the 16GiB starting at the current stack frame on 64-bit architectures and
in the entire address space on 32-bit architectures.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
