medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460270

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: ALSA: ice1712: check snd_ctl_new1()
 return value snd_ctl_new1() can return NULL when memory allocation fails. The ice1712 driver calls
 snd_ctl_new1() without checking the return value before dereferencing the pointer in multiple places
 (ice1712.c, ice1724.c, aureon.c), which can lead to NULL pointer dereferences. Add NULL checks after
 snd_ctl_new1() calls and return -ENOMEM if any fails. (CVE-2026-64480)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.180-1 or later.
