In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs3: pretend $Extend records as regular files Since commit af153bb63a33 ("vfs: catch invalid modes in may_open()") requires any inode be one of S_IFDIR/S_IFLNK/S_IFREG/S_IFCHR/S_IFBLK/ S_IFIFO/S_IFSOCK type, use S_IFREG for $Extend records.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-4436 advisory.

    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     6.1.159-1~deb11u1.  This update also fixes several bugs reported to     Debian.  It additionally includes many more bug fixes from stable     update 6.1.159.

    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:

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.

  - ntfs3: pretend $Extend records as regular files Since commit af153bb63a33 (vfs: catch invalid modes in     may_open()) requires any inode be one of S_IFDIR/S_IFLNK/S_IFREG/S_IFCHR/S_IFBLK/ S_IFIFO/S_IFSOCK type,     use S_IFREG for $Extend records. (CVE-2025-40313)

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