In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dma-buf/dma-resv: check if the new fence is really later Previously when we added a fence to a dma_resv object we always assumed the the newer than all the existing fences. With Jason's work to add an UAPI to explicit export/import that's not necessary the case any more. So without this check we would allow userspace to force the kernel into an use after free error. Since the change is very small and defensive it's probably a good idea to backport this to stable kernels as well just in case others are using the dma_resv object in the same way.

An update of the linux package has been released.

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.189-131.211. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2025-088 advisory.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - dma-buf/dma-resv: check if the new fence is really later Previously when we added a fence to a dma_resv     object we always assumed the the newer than all the existing fences. With Jason's work to add an UAPI to     explicit export/import that's not necessary the case any more.

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