"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2026:0316 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-43284:
    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: esp: avoid in-place decrypt on
    shared skb frags MSG_SPLICE_PAGES can attach pages from a pipe directly to an skb. TCP marks such skbs
    with SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG after skb_splice_from_iter(), so later paths that may modify packet data can first
    make a private copy. The IPv4/IPv6 datagram append paths did not set this flag when splicing pages into
    UDP skbs. That leaves an ESP-in-UDP packet made from shared pipe pages looking like an ordinary uncloned
    nonlinear skb. ESP input then takes the no-COW fast path for uncloned skbs without a frag_list and
    decrypts in place over data that is not owned privately by the skb. Mark IPv4/IPv6 datagram splice frags
    with SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG, matching TCP. Also make ESP input fall back to skb_cow_data() when the flag is
    present, so ESP does not decrypt externally backed frags in place. Private nonlinear skb frags still use
    the existing fast path. This intentionally does not change ESP output. In esp_output_head(), the path that
    appends the ESP trailer to existing skb tailroom without calling skb_cow_data() is not reachable for
    nonlinear skbs: skb_tailroom() returns zero when skb->data_len is nonzero, while ESP tailen is positive.
    Thus ESP output will either use the separate destination-frag path or fall back to skb_cow_data().

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent 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.");
