In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: efivarfs: fix error propagation in efivar_entry_get() efivar_entry_get() always returns success even if the underlying __efivar_entry_get() fails, masking errors. This may result in uninitialized heap memory being copied to userspace in the efivarfs_file_read() path. Fix it by returning the error from __efivar_entry_get().

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.

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.

  - efivarfs: fix error propagation in efivar_entry_get() efivar_entry_get() always returns success even if     the underlying __efivar_entry_get() fails, masking errors. This may result in uninitialized heap memory     being copied to userspace in the efivarfs_file_read() path. Fix it by returning the error from
    __efivar_entry_get(). (CVE-2026-23156)

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