In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: SMP: derive legacy responder STK authentication from MITM state The legacy responder path in smp_random() currently labels the stored STK as authenticated whenever pending_sec_level is BT_SECURITY_HIGH. That reflects what the local service requested, not what the pairing flow actually achieved. For Just Works/Confirm legacy pairing, SMP_FLAG_MITM_AUTH stays clear and the resulting STK should remain unauthenticated even if the local side requested HIGH security. Use the established MITM state when storing the responder STK so the key metadata matches the pairing result. This also keeps the legacy path aligned with the Secure Connections code, which already treats JUST_WORKS/JUST_CFM as unauthenticated.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-4561 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     6.1.170-1~deb11u1.

    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

    Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply     these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be     found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS     Attachment:

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.

  - Bluetooth: SMP: derive legacy responder STK authentication from MITM state The legacy responder path in     smp_random() currently labels the stored STK as authenticated whenever pending_sec_level is     BT_SECURITY_HIGH.

This also keeps the     legacy path aligned with the Secure Connections code, which already treats JUST_WORKS/JUST_CFM as     unauthenticated. (CVE-2026-31773)

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

The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6243 advisory.
