medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 465962

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: macb: fix unregister_netdev call
 order in macb_remove() When removing a macb device, the driver calls phy_exit() before
 unregister_netdev(). This leads to a WARN from kernfs: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernfs: can
 not remove 'attached_dev', no directory WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 27146 at fs/kernfs/dir.c:1683 Call trace:
 kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0xd8/0xf0 sysfs_remove_link+0x24/0x58 phy_detach+0x5c/0x168
 phy_disconnect+0x4c/0x70 phylink_disconnect_phy+0x6c/0xc0 [phylink] macb_close+0x6c/0x170 [macb] ...
 macb_remove+0x60/0x168 [macb] platform_remove+0x5c/0x80 ... The warning happens because the PHY is being
 exited while the netdev is still registered. The correct order is to unregister the netdev before shutting
 down the PHY and cleaning up the MDIO bus. Fix this by moving unregister_netdev() ahead of phy_exit() in
 macb_remove(). (CVE-2025-39805)

Solution
