Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / 24.10 : Linux kernel (Azure) vulnerabilities (USN-7628-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 241640

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7628-1 advisory.

It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly verify the target namespace when handling upcalls. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2025-2312)
