medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 455454

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: common: st_sensors: Fix use of
 uninitialize device structs Throughout the various probe functions &indio_dev->dev is used before it is
 initialized. This caused a kernel panic in st_sensors_power_enable() when the call to
 devm_regulator_bulk_get_enable() fails and then calls dev_err_probe() with the uninitialized device. This
 seems to only cause a panic with dev_err_probe(), dev_err(), dev_warn() and dev_info() don't seem to cause
 a panic, but are fixed as well. The issue is reported and traced here: [1] (CVE-2025-38531)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.12.41-1 or later.
