patch available.

  - U-Boot through 2026.04-rc3 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in tcp_rx_state_machine()
    (net/tcp.c) when CONFIG_PROT_TCP is enabled, allowing remote attackers to read beyond TCP segment
    boundaries by crafting a malicious packet with a mismatched IP total length and TCP data offset field.
    Attackers can send a packet with an IP total length of 40 bytes and a TCP data offset claiming 60 bytes of
    header to cause tcp_parse_options() to read 40 bytes past the end of the TCP segment, potentially
    corrupting connection state variables such as rmt_win_scale and rmt_timestamp to disrupt TCP window
    calculations. (CVE-2026-29007)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
