medium Nessus Plugin ID 230213

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - scsi: scsi_debug: Fix type in min_t to avoid stack OOB Change min_t() to use type u32 instead of type int to avoid stack out of bounds. With min_t() type int the values get sign extended and the larger value gets used causing stack out of bounds.
