Improper isolation of shared resources on a system on a chip by a malicious local attacker with high privileges could potentially lead to a partial loss of integrity.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Improper isolation of shared resources on a system on a chip by a malicious local attacker with high     privileges could potentially lead to a partial loss of integrity. (CVE-2025-54514)

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1307 advisory.

    Improper isolation of shared resources on a system on a chip by a malicious local attacker with high     privileges could potentially lead to a partial loss of integrity. (CVE-2025-54514)

    Improper handling of insufficient entropy in the AMD CPUs could allow a local attacker to influence the     values returned by the RDSEED instruction, potentially resulting in the consumption of insufficiently     random values. (CVE-2025-62626)

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 version of linux-firmware installed on the remote host is prior to 20200421-85.git78c0348. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-3092 advisory.
