In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: pass validated element count to package parsers The per-type package parsers are handed the wrong element count. hp_init_bios_package_attribute() validates obj->package.count and then calls one of the five hp_populate_*_package_data() wrappers (string, integer, enumeration, ordered list, password). Each wrapper forwards a count to its hp_populate_*_elements_from_package() parser, but instead of forwarding the validated obj->package.count it derives the count from elements[0]. elements[0] is the NAME field and is always an ACPI_TYPE_STRING, so reading ->package.count from it in fact reads ->string.length through the union acpi_object. The parsers thus bound themselves against the length of the name string rather than against the real number of elements in the package. This is safe today because hp_init_bios_package_attribute() refuses any package that has fewer than the type's element count, so a parser only ever runs on a full package and never reads past it regardless of the bogus bound. An upcoming change relaxes that check to accept shorter packages. Once a parser can receive fewer elements than its per-type count, a bound taken from the name length no longer reflects the array size, and the "elem < count" loop conditions and "elem + n >= count" sub-loop guards read past the end of elements[] - an out-of-bounds heap read. Forward the validated obj->package.count to every *_package_data() wrapper so the parsers bound themselves against the real package size. This does not change behaviour for the packages that enumerate correctly today and is a prerequisite for accepting shorter packages safely.

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-9002-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle canceled task     work when processing certain wait operations, leading to the operation being performed in the wrong task     context. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).

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.

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.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: pass     validated element count to package parsers The per-type package parsers are handed the wrong element     count. hp_init_bios_package_attribute() validates obj->package.count and then calls one of the five     hp_populate_*_package_data() wrappers (string, integer, enumeration, ordered list, password). Each wrapper     forwards a count to its hp_populate_*_elements_from_package() parser, but instead of forwarding the     validated obj->package.count it derives the count from elements[0]. elements[0] is the NAME field and is     always an ACPI_TYPE_STRING, so reading ->package.count from it in fact reads ->string.length through the     union acpi_object. The parsers thus bound themselves against the length of the name string rather than     against the real number of elements in the package. This is safe today because     hp_init_bios_package_attribute() refuses any package that has fewer than the type's element count, so a     parser only ever runs on a full package and never reads past it regardless of the bogus bound. An upcoming     change relaxes that check to accept shorter packages. Once a parser can receive fewer elements than its     per-type count, a bound taken from the name length no longer reflects the array size, and the elem <     count loop conditions and elem + n >= count sub-loop guards read past the end of elements[] - an out-     of-bounds heap read. Forward the validated obj->package.count to every *_package_data() wrapper so the     parsers bound themselves against the real package size. This does not change behaviour for the packages     that enumerate correctly today and is a prerequisite for accepting shorter packages safely.
    (CVE-2026-81011)

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