medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 463798

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: net: usb: asix_devices: add phy_mask
 for ax88772 mdio bus Without setting phy_mask for ax88772 mdio bus, current driver may create at most 32
 mdio phy devices with phy address range from 0x00 ~ 0x1f. DLink DUB-E100 H/W Ver B1 is such a device.
 However, only one main phy device will bind to net phy driver. This is creating issue during system
 suspend/resume since phy_polling_mode() in phy_state_machine() will directly deference member of
 phydev->drv for non-main phy devices. Then NULL pointer dereference issue will occur. Due to only external
 phy or internal phy is necessary, add phy_mask for ax88772 mdio bus to workarnoud the issue.
 (CVE-2025-38725)
