In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: Add bounds checking in bit_putcs to fix vmalloc-out-of-bounds Add bounds checking to prevent writes past framebuffer boundaries when rendering text near screen edges. Return early if the Y position is off-screen and clip image height to screen boundary. Break from the rendering loop if the X position is off-screen. When clipping image width to fit the screen, update the character count to match the clipped width to prevent buffer size mismatches. Without the character count update, bit_putcs_aligned and bit_putcs_unaligned receive mismatched parameters where the buffer is allocated for the clipped width but cnt reflects the original larger count, causing out-of-bounds writes.

    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.

    For the detailed security status of linux please refer to     its security tracker page at:

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.

  - fbdev: Add bounds checking in bit_putcs to fix vmalloc-out-of-bounds Add bounds checking to prevent writes     past framebuffer boundaries when rendering text near screen edges. Return early if the Y position is off-     screen and clip image height to screen boundary. Break from the rendering loop if the X position is off-     screen. When clipping image width to fit the screen, update the character count to match the clipped width     to prevent buffer size mismatches. Without the character count update, bit_putcs_aligned and     bit_putcs_unaligned receive mismatched parameters where the buffer is allocated for the clipped width but     cnt reflects the original larger count, causing out-of-bounds writes. (CVE-2025-40304)

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