CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: kernel (CVE-2023-22999)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 173474

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-22999 advisory.

 - In the Linux kernel before 5.16.3, drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-qcom.c misinterprets the dwc3_qcom_create_urs_usb_platdev return value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is actually an error pointer). (CVE-2023-22999)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
