  - uprobes: fix kernel info leak via [uprobes] vma xol_add_vma() maps the uninitialized page allocated by
    __create_xol_area() into userspace. On some architectures (x86) this memory is readable even without     VM_READ, VM_EXEC results in the same pgprot_t as VM_EXEC|VM_READ, although this doesn't really matter,     debugger can read this memory anyway. (CVE-2024-49975)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
