critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 459334

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: qmi_wwan: initialize MAC
header offset in qmimux_rx_fixup Raw IP packets have no MAC header, leaving skb->mac_header uninitialized.
This can trigger kernel panics on ARM64 when xfrm or other subsystems access the offset due to strict
alignment checks. Initialize the MAC header to prevent such crashes. This can trigger kernel panics on ARM
when running IPsec over the qmimux0 interface. Example trace: Internal error: Oops: 000000009600004f [#1]
