medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462928

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: drm/amd/display: Add null check for
 head_pipe in dcn32_acquire_idle_pipe_for_head_pipe_in_layer This commit addresses a potential null pointer
 dereference issue in the `dcn32_acquire_idle_pipe_for_head_pipe_in_layer` function. The issue could occur
 when `head_pipe` is null. The fix adds a check to ensure `head_pipe` is not null before asserting it. If
 `head_pipe` is null, the function returns NULL to prevent a potential null pointer dereference. Reported
 by smatch: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/resource/dcn32/dcn32_resource.c:2690
 dcn32_acquire_idle_pipe_for_head_pipe_in_layer() error: we previously assumed 'head_pipe' could be null
 (see line 2681) (CVE-2024-49918)

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.11.4-1 or later.
