"The CentOS Linux 8.5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS8.5:CLSA-2026:1787572220 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: mcast: add RCU protection to
    mld_newpack() mld_newpack() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held. Note that we no longer can use
    sock_alloc_send_skb() because ipv6.igmp_sk uses GFP_KERNEL allocations which can sleep. Instead use
    alloc_skb() and charge the net->ipv6.igmp_sk socket under RCU protection. (CVE-2025-21758)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: mcast: extend RCU protection in
    igmp6_send() igmp6_send() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held. Extend RCU protection so that we
    can safely fetch the net pointer and avoid a potential UAF. Note that we no longer can use
    sock_alloc_send_skb() because ipv6.igmp_sk uses GFP_KERNEL allocations which can sleep. Instead use
    alloc_skb() and charge the net->ipv6.igmp_sk socket under RCU protection. (CVE-2025-21759)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ndisc: extend RCU protection in
    ndisc_send_skb() ndisc_send_skb() can be called without RTNL or RCU held. Acquire rcu_read_lock() earlier,
    so that we can use dev_net_rcu() and avoid a potential UAF. (CVE-2025-21760)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: openvswitch: use RCU protection in
    ovs_vport_cmd_fill_info() ovs_vport_cmd_fill_info() can be called without RTNL or RCU. Use RCU protection
    and dev_net_rcu() to avoid potential UAF. (CVE-2025-21761)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arp: use RCU protection in arp_xmit()
    arp_xmit() can be called without RTNL or RCU protection. Use RCU protection to avoid potential UAF.
    (CVE-2025-21762)

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