"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1778896895 advisory.
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: raw: fix ro->uniq use-after-free
in raw_rcv() raw_release() unregisters raw CAN receive filters via can_rx_unregister(), but receiver
deletion is deferred with call_rcu(). This leaves a window where raw_rcv() may still be running in an RCU
read-side critical section after raw_release() frees ro->uniq, leading to a use-after-free of the percpu
uniq storage. Move free_percpu(ro->uniq) out of raw_release() and into a raw-specific socket destructor.
can_rx_unregister() takes an extra reference to the socket and only drops it from the RCU callback, so
freeing uniq from sk_destruct ensures the percpu area is not released until the relevant callbacks have
drained. [mkl: applied manually] (CVE-2026-31532)
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ptrace: slightly saner
'get_dumpable()' logic The 'dumpability' of a task is fundamentally about the memory image of the task -
the concept comes from whether it can core dump or not - and makes no sense when you don't have an
associated mm. And almost all users do in fact use it only for the case where the task has a mm pointer.
But we have one odd special case: ptrace_may_access() uses 'dumpable' to check various other things
entirely independently of the MM (typically explicitly using flags like PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS).
Including for threads that no longer have a VM (and maybe never did, like most kernel threads). It's not
what this flag was designed for, but it is what it is. The ptrace code does check that the uid/gid
matches, so you do have to be uid-0 to see kernel thread details, but this means that the traditional
drop capabilities model doesn't make any difference for this all. Make it all make a *bit* more sense by
saying that if you don't have a MM pointer, we'll use a cached last dumpability flag if the thread ever
had a MM (it will be zero for kernel threads since it is never set), and require a proper CAP_SYS_PTRACE
capability to override. (CVE-2026-46333)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
