In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: dw-edma: eDMA: Add sync read before starting the DMA transfer in remote setup The Linked list element and pointer are not stored in the same memory as the eDMA controller register. If the doorbell register is toggled before the full write of the linked list a race condition error will occur. In remote setup we can only use a readl to the memory to assure the full write has occurred.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  CVE-2024-27408


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

  - Debian Linux - linux - dmaengine: dw-edma: eDMA: Add sync read before starting the DMA transfer in remote     setup  The Linked list element and pointer are not stored in the same memory as the eDMA controller     register. If the doorbell register is toggled before the full write of the linked list a race condition     error will occur. In remote setup we can only use a readl to the memory to assure the full write has     occurred.  Ubuntu Linux - dmaengine: dw-edma: eDMA: Add sync read before starting the DMA transfer in     remote setup The Linked list element and pointer are not stored in the same memory as the eDMA controller     register. If the doorbell register is toggled before the full write of the linked list a race condition     error will occur. In remote setup we can only use a readl to the memory to assure the full write has     occurred. (CVE-2024-27408)

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