In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: remoteproc: pru: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in pru_rproc_set_ctable() pru_rproc_set_ctable() accessed rproc->priv before the IS_ERR_OR_NULL check, which could lead to a null pointer dereference. Move the pru assignment, ensuring we never dereference a NULL rproc pointer.

The remote Ubuntu 25.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8029-1 advisory.

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.

  - remoteproc: pru: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in pru_rproc_set_ctable() pru_rproc_set_ctable()     accessed rproc->priv before the IS_ERR_OR_NULL check, which could lead to a null pointer dereference. Move     the pru assignment, ensuring we never dereference a NULL rproc pointer. (CVE-2025-40033)

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