"The version of kernel installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-35982 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: batman-adv: Avoid infinite loop trying
    to resize local TT If the MTU of one of an attached interface becomes too small to transmit the local
    translation table then it must be resized to fit inside all fragments (when enabled) or a single packet.
    But if the MTU becomes too low to transmit even the header + the VLAN specific part then the resizing of
    the local TT will never succeed. This can for example happen when the usable space is 110 bytes and 11
    VLANs are on top of batman-adv. In this case, at least 116 byte would be needed. There will just be an
    endless spam of batman_adv: batadv0: Forced to purge local tt entries to fit new maximum fragment MTU
    (110) in the log but the function will never finish. Problem here is that the timeout will be halved all
    the time and will then stagnate at 0 and therefore never be able to reduce the table even more. There are
    other scenarios possible with a similar result. The number of BATADV_TT_CLIENT_NOPURGE entries in the
    local TT can for example be too high to fit inside a packet. Such a scenario can therefore happen also
    with only a single VLAN + 7 non-purgable addresses - requiring at least 120 bytes. While this should be
    handled proactively when: * interface with too low MTU is added * VLAN is added * non-purgeable local mac
    is added * MTU of an attached interface is reduced * fragmentation setting gets disabled (which most
    likely requires dropping attached interfaces) not all of these scenarios can be prevented because batman-
    adv is only consuming events without the the possibility to prevent these actions (non-purgable MAC
    address added, MTU of an attached interface is reduced). It is therefore necessary to also make sure that
    the code is able to handle also the situations when there were already incompatible system configuration
    are present. (CVE-2024-35982)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
