"The CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS-
STREAM8:CLSA-2026:1778839666 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: skbuff: preserve shared-frag
    marker during coalescing skb_try_coalesce() can attach paged frags from @from to @to. If @from has
    SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG set, the resulting @to skb can contain the same externally-owned or page-cache-backed
    frags, but the shared-frag marker is currently lost. That breaks the invariant relied on by later in-place
    writers. In particular, ESP input checks skb_has_shared_frag() before deciding whether an uncloned
    nonlinear skb can skip skb_cow_data(). If TCP receive coalescing has moved shared frags into an unmarked
    skb, ESP can see skb_has_shared_frag() as false and decrypt in place over page-cache backed frags.
    Propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG when skb_try_coalesce() transfers paged frags. The tailroom copy path does not
    need the marker because it copies bytes into @to's linear data rather than transferring frag descriptors.
    (CVE-2026-46300)

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