In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: cadence: Check for the existence of cdns_pcie::ops before using it cdns_pcie::ops might not be populated by all the Cadence glue drivers. This is going to be true for the upcoming Sophgo platform which doesn't set the ops. Hence, add a check to prevent NULL pointer dereference. [mani: reworded subject and description]

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

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.

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

  - PCI: cadence: Check for the existence of cdns_pcie::ops before using it cdns_pcie::ops might not be     populated by all the Cadence glue drivers. This is going to be true for the upcoming Sophgo platform which     doesn't set the ops. Hence, add a check to prevent NULL pointer dereference. [mani: reworded subject and     description] (CVE-2025-68176)

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

An update of the linux package has been released.
