medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 457291

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: PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-vntb: Remove
 duplicate resource teardown epf_ntb_epc_destroy() duplicates the teardown that the caller is supposed to
 perform later. This leads to an oops when .allow_link fails or when .drop_link is performed. The following
 is an example oops of the former case: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
 dead000000000108 [...] [dead000000000108] address between user and kernel address ranges Internal error:
 Oops: 0000000096000044 [#1] SMP [...] Call trace: pci_epc_remove_epf+0x78/0xe0 (P)
 pci_primary_epc_epf_link+0x88/0xa8 configfs_symlink+0x1f4/0x5a0 vfs_symlink+0x134/0x1d8
 do_symlinkat+0x88/0x138 __arm64_sys_symlinkat+0x74/0xe0 [...] Remove the helper, and drop pci_epc_put().
 EPC device refcounting is tied to the configfs EPC group lifetime, and pci_epc_put() in the .drop_link
 path is sufficient. (CVE-2026-31594)
