In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: adau1372: allow sleepy powerdown GPIOs gpiod_set_value() emits a WARN when the GPIO provider indicates that it can sleep, as is typical for I2C controlled GPIO expanders. Since the powerdown GPIO is only manipulated in process context, use the _cansleep variant instead. This lets the driver use sleepy GPIOs to power off the chip.

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.

  - ASoC: adau1372: allow sleepy powerdown GPIOs gpiod_set_value() emits a WARN when the GPIO provider     indicates that it can sleep, as is typical for I2C controlled GPIO expanders. Since the powerdown GPIO is     only manipulated in process context, use the _cansleep variant instead. This lets the driver use sleepy     GPIOs to power off the chip. (CVE-2026-98956)

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