"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2026:1158 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-53212:
    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    netfilter: nft_tunnel: fix use-after-free on object destroy

    nft_tunnel_obj_destroy() calls metadata_dst_free() which directly
    kfree()s the metadata_dst, ignoring the dst_entry refcount. Packets
    that took a reference via dst_hold() in nft_tunnel_obj_eval() and
    are still queued (e.g. in a netem qdisc) are left with a dangling
    pointer. When these packets are eventually dequeued, dst_release()
    operates on freed memory.

    Replace metadata_dst_free() with dst_release() so the metadata_dst
    is freed only after all references are dropped. The dst subsystem
    already handles metadata_dst cleanup in dst_destroy() when
    DST_METADATA is set.

    CVE-2026-53266:
    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    netfilter: bridge: make ebt_snat ARP rewrite writable

    The ebtables SNAT target keeps the Ethernet source address rewrite
    behind skb_ensure_writable(skb, 0).  This is intentional: at the bridge
    ebtables hooks the Ethernet header is addressed through
    skb_mac_header()/eth_hdr(), while skb->data points at the Ethernet
    payload.  Asking skb_ensure_writable() for ETH_HLEN bytes would check
    the payload, not the Ethernet header, and would reintroduce the small
    packet regression fixed by commit 63137bc5882a.

    However, the optional ARP sender hardware address rewrite is different.
    It writes through skb_store_bits() at an offset relative to skb->data:

          skb_store_bits(skb, sizeof(struct arphdr), info->mac, ETH_ALEN)

    skb_header_pointer() only safely reads the ARP header; it does not make
    the later sender hardware address range writable.  If that range is
    still held in a nonlinear skb fragment backed by a splice-imported file
    page, skb_store_bits() maps the frag page and copies the new MAC address
    directly into it.

    Ensure the ARP SHA range is writable before reading the ARP header and
    before calling skb_store_bits().

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

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