medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 465058

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: hisi_sas: Create all dump files
 during debugfs initialization For the current debugfs of hisi_sas, after user triggers dump, the driver
 allocate memory space to save the register information and create debugfs files to display the saved
 information. In this process, the debugfs files created after each dump. Therefore, when the dump is
 triggered while the driver is unbind, the following hang occurs: [67840.853907] Unable to handle kernel

 this issue, create all directories and files during debugfs initialization. In this way, the driver only
 needs to allocate memory space to save information each time the user triggers dumping. (CVE-2024-56588)
