medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 459718

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: media: dvb-frontends: w7090p: fix
 null-ptr-deref in w7090p_tuner_write_serpar and w7090p_tuner_read_serpar In w7090p_tuner_write_serpar, msg
 is controlled by user. When msg[0].buf is null and msg[0].len is zero, former checks on msg[0].buf would
 be passed. If accessing msg[0].buf[2] without sanity check, null pointer deref would happen. We add check
 on msg[0].len to prevent crash. Similar commit: commit 0ed554fd769a ("media: dvb-usb: az6027: fix null-
 ptr-deref in az6027_i2c_xfer()") (CVE-2025-38693)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.153-1 or later.
