"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-2025-38278 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeontx2-pf: QOS: Refactor
    TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL_LAST callback This patch addresses below issues, 1. Active traffic on the leaf node must
    be stopped before its send queue is reassigned to the parent. This patch resolves the issue by marking the
    node as 'Inner'. 2. During a system reboot, the interface receives TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL and
    TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL_LAST callbacks to delete its HTB queues. In the case of TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL_LAST, although the
    same send queue is reassigned to the parent, the current logic still attempts to update the real number of
    queues, leadning to below warnings New queues can't be registered after device unregistration. WARNING:
    CPU: 0 PID: 6475 at net/core/net-sysfs.c:1714 netdev_queue_update_kobjects+0x1e4/0x200 (CVE-2025-38278)

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