"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
ALINUX3-SA-2026:0334 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-98432:
    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
    ipv4: free inet_opt and ireq_opt after an RCU grace period
    tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() transfers ownership of ireq->ireq_opt to the
    child socket (newinet->inet_opt) without copying it.
    Another cpu can concurrently process a retransmitted SYN for the same
    request socket, and send a SYNACK from tcp_check_req().
    tcp_v4_send_synack() and inet_csk_route_req() read ireq->ireq_opt
    under rcu_read_lock() only, and ip_build_and_send_pkt() and
    ip_options_build() then read opt->optlen twice.
    Note that the SYNACK timer itself is not an issue: it holds a
    reference on its request socket, and inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop()
    calls timer_delete_sync() before the child can be freed.
    Since commit 079096f103fa (tcp/dccp: install syn_recv requests
    into ehash table), request sockets are processed without holding
    the listener lock, so nothing prevents the child socket from being
    freed while the SYNACK is still being built. TCP child sockets do
    not have SOCK_RCU_FREE, and inet_sock_destruct() frees inet_opt
    with a plain kfree(), leading to a use-after-free in
    ip_options_build().
    A similar issue exists with request socket migration
    (net.ipv4.tcp_migrate_req=1, or a BPF_SK_REUSEPORT_SELECT_OR_MIGRATE
    program). reqsk_timer_handler() clones the request socket with
    inet_reqsk_clone(), so that the old request socket and its clone
    share the same ireq_opt, then reqsk_migrate_reset() clears the
    pointer in the old one. Another cpu holding a reference on the old
    request socket can still be using these options (sending a SYNACK,
    or creating a child in tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock()) when the clone is
    freed, and tcp_v4_reqsk_destructor() also uses a plain kfree().
    Readers already use RCU, and other paths replacing inet_opt
    (do_ip_setsockopt(), cipso_v4_sock_setattr()...) already use
    kfree_rcu(). Use kfree_rcu() in inet_sock_destruct() and
    tcp_v4_reqsk_destructor() as well.
    IPv6 is not affected by the first issue, because tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()
    duplicates the options. tcp_v6_reqsk_destructor() has the same
    migration issue with ipv6_opt, which is only set by CALIPSO. This
    will be addressed in a separate patch.

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.");
