In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: atl1e: fix soft lockup on out-of-range hw_next_to_clean read Same issue as atl1c (see the first commit in this series, "net: atl1c: fix soft lockup on out-of-range tpd_cons read"): the hardware can report an out-of-range hw_next_to_clean (seen as 0xffff) while the PCIe link/MAC is resetting. An out-of-range value can never be reached and the loop below would spin forever. Treat it as "nothing new to clean" instead.

Such strings are literals and reading 32 bytes ends up in out of bound memory accesses (e.g.
    the next automaton's data in this case). The error is harmless as, while printing the string, we stop at     the null terminator, but it should still be fixed. Use the __string facilities while defining the     tracepoints to avoid reading out of bound memory. (CVE-2025-38636)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommufd: Prevent ALIGN() overflow When     allocating IOVA the candidate range gets aligned to the target alignment. If the range is close to     ULONG_MAX then the ALIGN() can wrap resulting in a corrupted iova. Open code the ALIGN() using     get_add_overflow() to prevent this. This simplifies the checks as we don't need to check for length     earlier either. Consolidate the two copies of this code under a single helper. This bug would allow     userspace to create a mapping that overlaps with some other mapping or a reserved range. (CVE-2025-38688)

    Boundary checks have been added to prevent potential out-of-bounds writes when decrypting the connection     secret or processing service tickets. [ idryomov: changelog ] (CVE-2025-68284)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tipc: fix bc_ackers underflow on     duplicate GRP_ACK_MSG The GRP_ACK_MSG handler in tipc_group_proto_rcv() currently decrements bc_ackers on     every inbound group ACK, even when the same member has already acknowledged the current broadcast round.
    Because bc_ackers is a u16, a duplicate ACK received after the last legitimate ACK wraps the counter to     65535. Once wrapped, tipc_group_bc_cong() keeps reporting congestion and later group broadcasts on the     affected socket stay blocked until the group is recreated. Fix this by ignoring duplicate or stale ACKs     before touching bc_acked or bc_ackers. This makes repeated GRP_ACK_MSG handling idempotent and prevents     the underflow path. (CVE-2026-31662)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf: arm_spe: Prevent overflow in     PERF_IDX2OFF() Cast nr_pages to unsigned long to avoid overflow when handling large AUX buffer sizes (>= 2     GiB). (CVE-2025-40081)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arch_topology: Fix incorrect error     check in topology_parse_cpu_capacity() Fix incorrect use of PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() in     topology_parse_cpu_capacity() which causes the code to proceed with NULL clock pointers. The current logic     uses !PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(cpu_clk) which evaluates to true for both valid pointers and NULL, leading to     potential NULL pointer dereference in clk_get_rate(). Per include/linux/err.h documentation,     PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(ptr) returns: The error code within @ptr if it is an error pointer; 0 otherwise. This     means PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() returns 0 for both valid pointers AND NULL pointers. Therefore     !PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(cpu_clk) evaluates to true (proceed) when cpu_clk is either valid or NULL, causing     clk_get_rate(NULL) to be called when of_clk_get() returns NULL. Replace with !IS_ERR_OR_NULL(cpu_clk)     which only proceeds for valid pointers, preventing potential NULL pointer dereference in clk_get_rate().

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86/amd/pmc: Add support for     Van Gogh SoC The ROG Xbox Ally (non-X) SoC features a similar architecture to the Steam Deck. While the     Steam Deck supports S3 (s2idle causes a crash), this support was dropped by the Xbox Ally which only S0ix     suspend. Since the handler is missing here, this causes the device to not suspend and the AMD GPU driver     to crash while trying to resume afterwards due to a power hang. (CVE-2025-68334)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath9k: avoid uninit memory read     in ath9k_htc_rx_msg() syzbot is reporting uninit value at ath9k_htc_rx_msg() [1], for     ioctl(USB_RAW_IOCTL_EP_WRITE) can call ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream() with pkt_len = 0 but     ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream() uses __dev_alloc_skb(pkt_len + 32, GFP_ATOMIC) based on an assumption that     pkt_len is valid. As a result, ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream() allocates skb with uninitialized memory and     ath9k_htc_rx_msg() is reading from uninitialized memory. Since bytes accessed by ath9k_htc_rx_msg() is not     known until ath9k_htc_rx_msg() is called, it would be difficult to check minimal valid pkt_len at if     (pkt_len > 2 * MAX_RX_BUF_SIZE) { line in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream(). We have two choices. One is to     workaround by adding __GFP_ZERO so that ath9k_htc_rx_msg() sees 0 if pkt_len is invalid. The other is to     let ath9k_htc_rx_msg() validate pkt_len before accessing. This patch chose the latter. Note that I'm not     sure threshold condition is correct, for I can't find details on possible packet length used by this     protocol. (CVE-2022-50709)

    __memcpy+0x110/0x260 read_kcore+0x584/0x778 proc_reg_read+0xb4/0xe4 During early boot, memblock reserves     the pages for the ramoops reserved memory node in DT that would otherwise be part of the direct lowmem     mapping. Pstore's ram backend reuses those reserved pages to change the memory type (writeback or non-     cached) by passing the pages to vmap() (see pfn_to_page() usage in persistent_ram_vmap() for more details)     with specific flags. When read_kcore() starts iterating over the vmalloc region, it runs over the virtual     address that vmap() returned for ramoops. In aligned_vread() the virtual address is passed to     vmalloc_to_page() which returns the page struct for the reserved lowmem area. That lowmem page is passed     to kmap_atomic(), which effectively calls page_to_virt() that assumes a lowmem page struct must be     directly accessible with __va() and friends. These pages are mapped via vmap() though, and the lowmem     mapping was never made, so accessing them via the lowmem virtual address oopses like above. Let's side-     step this problem by passing VM_IOREMAP to vmap(). This will tell vread() to not include the ramoops     region in the kcore. Instead the area will look like a bunch of zeros. The alternative is to teach kmap()     about vmalloc areas that intersect with lowmem. Presumably such a change isn't a one-liner, and there     isn't much interest in inspecting the ramoops region in kcore files anyway, so the most expedient route is     taken for now.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/srp: Do not call scsi_done() from     srp_abort() After scmd_eh_abort_handler() has called the SCSI LLD eh_abort_handler callback, it performs     one of the following actions: * Call scsi_queue_insert(). * Call scsi_finish_command(). * Call     scsi_eh_scmd_add(). Hence, SCSI abort handlers must not call scsi_done(). Otherwise all the above actions     would trigger a use-after-free. Hence remove the scsi_done() call from srp_abort(). Keep the     srp_free_req() call before returning SUCCESS because we may not see the command again if SUCCESS is     returned. (CVE-2023-52515)

It means that the liftcycle of vol->eba_tbl and     vol are different, so when resizing volume in next time, it causing an use-after-free fault. Fix it by     not freeing new_eba_tbl after it replaced in ubi_eba_replace_table(), while will be freed in next volume     resizing. (CVE-2023-53800)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: av7110: prevent underflow in     write_ts_to_decoder() The buf[4] value comes from the user via ts_play(). It is a value in the u8 range.
    The final length we pass to av7110_ipack_instant_repack() is len - (buf[4] + 1) - 4 so add a check to     ensure that the length is not negative. It's not clear that passing a negative len value does anything bad     necessarily, but it's not best practice. With the new bounds checking the if (!len) condition is no     longer possible or required so remove that. (CVE-2023-54284)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix dirtyclusters double     decrement on fs shutdown fstests test generic/388 occasionally reproduces a warning in ext4_put_super()     associated with the dirty clusters count: WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 76064 at fs/ext4/super.c:1324     ext4_put_super+0x48c/0x590 [ext4] Tracing the failure shows that the warning fires due to an     s_dirtyclusters_counter value of -1. IOW, this appears to be a spurious decrement as opposed to some sort     of leak. Further tracing of the dirty cluster count deltas and an LLM scan of the resulting output     identified the cause as a double decrement in the error path between ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used() and the     caller ext4_mb_new_blocks(). First, note that generic/388 is a shutdown vs. fsstress test and so produces     a random set of operations and shutdown injections. In the problematic case, the shutdown triggers an     error return from the ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() call(s) made from ext4_mb_mark_context(). The changed     value is non-zero at this point, so ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used() does not exit after the error bubbles up     from ext4_mb_mark_context(). Instead, the former decrements both cluster counters and returns the error up     to ext4_mb_new_blocks(). The latter falls into the !ar->len out path which decrements the dirty clusters     counter a second time, creating the inconsistency. To avoid this problem and simplify ownership of the     cluster reservation in this codepath, lift the counter reduction to a single place in the caller. This     makes it more clear that ext4_mb_new_blocks() is responsible for acquiring cluster reservation (via     ext4_claim_free_clusters()) in the !delalloc case as well as releasing it, regardless of whether it ends     up consumed or returned due to failure.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: b43: enforce bounds check on     firmware key index in b43_rx() The firmware-controlled key index in b43_rx() can exceed the dev->key[]     array size (58 entries). The existing B43_WARN_ON is non-enforcing in production builds, allowing an out-     of-bounds read. Make the B43_WARN_ON check enforcing by dropping the frame when the firmware returns an     invalid key index. (CVE-2026-46122)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version     6.12.113-1~deb12u1.  This update additionally includes many more bug     fixes from stable updates 6.12.112 and 6.12.113.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux-6.12 packages.

    For the detailed security status of linux-6.12 please refer to     its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/linux-6.12

    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.

  - net: atl1e: fix soft lockup on out-of-range hw_next_to_clean read Same issue as atl1c (see the first     commit in this series, net: atl1c: fix soft lockup on out-of-range tpd_cons read): the hardware can     report an out-of-range hw_next_to_clean (seen as 0xffff) while the PCIe link/MAC is resetting. An out-of-     range value can never be reached and the loop below would spin forever. Treat it as nothing new to clean     instead. (CVE-2026-98488)

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