Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

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

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

  - staging: ks7010: potential buffer overflow in ks_wlan_set_encode_ext() The exc->key_len is a u16 that     comes from the user. If it's over IW_ENCODING_TOKEN_MAX (64) that could lead to memory corruption.
    (CVE-2023-53554)

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

An update of the linux package has been released.
