In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8723bs: fix out-of-bounds read in rtw_get_ie() parser The Information Element (IE) parser rtw_get_ie() trusted the length byte of each IE without validating that the IE body (len bytes after the 2-byte header) fits inside the remaining frame buffer. A malformed frame can advertise an IE length larger than the available data, causing the parser to increment its pointer beyond the buffer end. This results in out-of-bounds reads or, depending on the pattern, an infinite loop. Fix by validating that (offset + 2 + len) does not exceed the limit before accepting the IE or advancing to the next element. This prevents OOB reads and ensures the parser terminates safely on malformed frames.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information     leaks.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 6.1.162-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

    For the detailed security status of linux please refer to its security     tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/linux

  - staging: rtl8723bs: fix out-of-bounds read in rtw_get_ie() parser The Information Element (IE) parser     rtw_get_ie() trusted the length byte of each IE without validating that the IE body (len bytes after the     2-byte header) fits inside the remaining frame buffer. A malformed frame can advertise an IE length larger     than the available data, causing the parser to increment its pointer beyond the buffer end. This results     in out-of-bounds reads or, depending on the pattern, an infinite loop. Fix by validating that (offset + 2     + len) does not exceed the limit before accepting the IE or advancing to the next element. This prevents     OOB reads and ensures the parser terminates safely on malformed frames. (CVE-2025-68256)

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