    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information     leaks.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     6.1.153-1~deb11u1.  Starting with this version, modules are signed     with an ephemeral key on all architectures, and the broken pktcdvd     driver is disabled.  This version additionally includes many more bug     fixes from stable updates 6.1.141-6.1.153.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux-6.1 packages.

    For the detailed security status of linux-6.1 please refer to     its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/linux-6.1

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

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

An update of the linux package has been released.

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

  - ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference error in generate_encryptionkey If client send two session setups with     krb5 authenticate to ksmbd, null pointer dereference error in generate_encryptionkey could happen.
    sess->Preauth_HashValue is set to NULL if session is valid. So this patch skip generate encryption key if     session is valid. (CVE-2025-38562)

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