In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: 6lowpan: reset link-local header on ipv6 recv path Bluetooth 6lowpan.c netdev has header_ops, so it must set link-local header for RX skb, otherwise things crash, eg. with AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW Add missing skb_reset_mac_header() for uncompressed ipv6 RX path. For the compressed one, it is done in lowpan_header_decompress(). Log: (BlueZ 6lowpan-tester Client Recv Raw - Success) ------ kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:212! Call Trace: <IRQ> ... packet_rcv (net/packet/af_packet.c:2152) ... <TASK> __local_bh_enable_ip (kernel/softirq.c:407) netif_rx (net/core/dev.c:5648) chan_recv_cb (net/bluetooth/6lowpan.c:294 net/bluetooth/6lowpan.c:359) ------

    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     5.10.247-1.  This version additionally includes many more bug fixes     from stable updates 5.10.245-5.10.247.  The broken pktcdvd driver has     also been disabled.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

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.
