In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/hdcp: Add NULL check for media_gt in intel_hdcp_gsc_check_status() When media GT is disabled via configfs, there is no allocation for media_gt, which is kept as NULL. In such scenario, intel_hdcp_gsc_check_status() results in a kernel pagefault error due to &gt->uc.gsc being evaluated as an invalid memory address. Fix that by introducing a NULL check on media_gt and bailing out early if so. While at it, also drop the NULL check for gsc, since it can't be NULL if media_gt is not NULL. v2: - Get address for gsc only after checking that gt is not NULL. (Shuicheng) - Drop the NULL check for gsc. (Shuicheng) v3: - Add "Fixes" and "Cc: <stable...>" tags. (Matt) (cherry picked from commit bfaf87e84ca3ca3f6e275f9ae56da47a8b55ffd1)

The remote Debian 13 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6355 advisory.

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

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 6.12.94-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

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.

  - drm/xe/hdcp: Add NULL check for media_gt in intel_hdcp_gsc_check_status() When media GT is disabled via     configfs, there is no allocation for media_gt, which is kept as NULL. In such scenario,     intel_hdcp_gsc_check_status() results in a kernel pagefault error due to >->uc.gsc being evaluated as an     invalid memory address. Fix that by introducing a NULL check on media_gt and bailing out early if so.
    While at it, also drop the NULL check for gsc, since it can't be NULL if media_gt is not NULL. v2: - Get     address for gsc only after checking that gt is not NULL. (Shuicheng) - Drop the NULL check for gsc.
    (Shuicheng) v3: - Add Fixes and Cc: <stable...> tags. (Matt) (cherry picked from commit     bfaf87e84ca3ca3f6e275f9ae56da47a8b55ffd1) (CVE-2026-46216)

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