medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 461422

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: scsi: lpfc: Use memcpy() for BIOS
version The strlcat() with FORTIFY support is triggering a panic because it thinks the target buffer will
overflow although the correct target buffer size is passed in. Anyway, instead of memset() with 0 followed
by a strlcat(), just use memcpy() and ensure that the resulting buffer is NULL terminated. BIOSVersion is
only used for the lpfc_printf_log() which expects a properly terminated string. (CVE-2025-38332)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.147-1 or later.
