In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: netpoll: fix incorrect refcount handling causing incorrect cleanup commit efa95b01da18 ("netpoll: fix use after free") incorrectly ignored the refcount and prematurely set dev->npinfo to NULL during netpoll cleanup, leading to improper behavior and memory leaks. Scenario causing lack of proper cleanup: 1) A netpoll is associated with a NIC (e.g., eth0) and netdev->npinfo is allocated, and refcnt = 1 - Keep in mind that npinfo is shared among all netpoll instances. In this case, there is just one. 2) Another netpoll is also associated with the same NIC and npinfo->refcnt += 1. - Now dev->npinfo->refcnt = 2; - There is just one npinfo associated to the netdev. 3) When the first netpolls goes to clean up: - The first cleanup succeeds and clears np->dev->npinfo, ignoring refcnt. - It basically calls `RCU_INIT_POINTER(np->dev->npinfo, NULL);` - Set dev->npinfo = NULL, without proper cleanup - No ->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is either called 4) Now the second target tries to clean up - The second cleanup fails because np->dev->npinfo is already NULL. * In this case, ops->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() was never called, and the skb pool is not cleaned as well (for the second netpoll instance) - This leaks npinfo and skbpool skbs, which is clearly reported by kmemleak. Revert commit efa95b01da18 ("netpoll: fix use after free") and adds clarifying comments emphasizing that npinfo cleanup should only happen once the refcount reaches zero, ensuring stable and correct netpoll behavior.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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 remote Ubuntu 25.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8030-1 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:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/linux-6.1

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

  - net: netpoll: fix incorrect refcount handling causing incorrect cleanup commit efa95b01da18 (netpoll: fix     use after free) incorrectly ignored the refcount and prematurely set dev->npinfo to NULL during netpoll     cleanup, leading to improper behavior and memory leaks. Scenario causing lack of proper cleanup: 1) A     netpoll is associated with a NIC (e.g., eth0) and netdev->npinfo is allocated, and refcnt = 1 - Keep in     mind that npinfo is shared among all netpoll instances. In this case, there is just one. 2) Another     netpoll is also associated with the same NIC and npinfo->refcnt += 1. - Now dev->npinfo->refcnt = 2; -     There is just one npinfo associated to the netdev. 3) When the first netpolls goes to clean up: - The     first cleanup succeeds and clears np->dev->npinfo, ignoring refcnt. - It basically calls     `RCU_INIT_POINTER(np->dev->npinfo, NULL);` - Set dev->npinfo = NULL, without proper cleanup - No
    ->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is either called 4) Now the second target tries to clean up - The second cleanup     fails because np->dev->npinfo is already NULL. * In this case, ops->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() was never     called, and the skb pool is not cleaned as well (for the second netpoll instance) - This leaks npinfo and     skbpool skbs, which is clearly reported by kmemleak. Revert commit efa95b01da18 (netpoll: fix use after     free) and adds clarifying comments emphasizing that npinfo cleanup should only happen once the refcount     reaches zero, ensuring stable and correct netpoll behavior. (CVE-2025-68245)

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