In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: page_pool: Fix PP_MAGIC_MASK to avoid crashing on some 32-bit arches Helge reported that the introduction of PP_MAGIC_MASK let to crashes on boot on his 32-bit parisc machine. The cause of this is the mask is set too wide, so the page_pool_page_is_pp() incurs false positives which crashes the machine. Just disabling the check in page_pool_is_pp() will lead to the page_pool code itself malfunctioning; so instead of doing this, this patch changes the define for PP_DMA_INDEX_BITS to avoid mistaking arbitrary kernel pointers for page_pool-tagged pages. The fix relies on the kernel pointers that alias with the pp_magic field always being above PAGE_OFFSET. With this assumption, we can use the lowest bit of the value of PAGE_OFFSET as the upper bound of the PP_DMA_INDEX_MASK, which should avoid the false positives. Because we cannot rely on PAGE_OFFSET always being a compile-time constant, nor on it always being >0, we fall back to disabling the dma_index storage when there are not enough bits available. This leaves us in the situation we were in before the patch in the Fixes tag, but only on a subset of architecture configurations. This seems to be the best we can do until the transition to page types in complete for page_pool pages. v2: - Make sure there's at least 8 bits available and that the PAGE_OFFSET bit calculation doesn't wrap

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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 remote Ubuntu 25.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8030-1 advisory.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product 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.

  - page_pool: Fix PP_MAGIC_MASK to avoid crashing on some 32-bit arches Helge reported that the introduction     of PP_MAGIC_MASK let to crashes on boot on his 32-bit parisc machine. The cause of this is the mask is set     too wide, so the page_pool_page_is_pp() incurs false positives which crashes the machine. Just disabling     the check in page_pool_is_pp() will lead to the page_pool code itself malfunctioning; so instead of doing     this, this patch changes the define for PP_DMA_INDEX_BITS to avoid mistaking arbitrary kernel pointers for     page_pool-tagged pages. The fix relies on the kernel pointers that alias with the pp_magic field always     being above PAGE_OFFSET. With this assumption, we can use the lowest bit of the value of PAGE_OFFSET as     the upper bound of the PP_DMA_INDEX_MASK, which should avoid the false positives. Because we cannot rely     on PAGE_OFFSET always being a compile-time constant, nor on it always being >0, we fall back to disabling     the dma_index storage when there are not enough bits available. This leaves us in the situation we were in     before the patch in the Fixes tag, but only on a subset of architecture configurations. This seems to be     the best we can do until the transition to page types in complete for page_pool pages. v2: - Make sure     there's at least 8 bits available and that the PAGE_OFFSET bit calculation doesn't wrap (CVE-2025-40199)

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