medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462010

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: parisc: Do not reprogram affinitiy on
 ASP chip The ASP chip is a very old variant of the GSP chip and is used e.g. in HP 730 workstations. When
 trying to reprogram the affinity it will crash with a HPMC as the relevant registers don't seem to be at
 the usual location. Let's avoid the crash by checking the sversion. Also note, that reprogramming isn't
 necessary either, as the HP730 is a just a single-CPU machine. (CVE-2025-71121)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.162-1 or later.
