Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-7883

low Nessus Plugin ID 251258

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.

- When using Arm Cortex-M Security Extensions (CMSE), Secure stack contents can be leaked to Non-secure state via floating-point registers when a Secure to Non-secure function call is made that returns a floating-point value and when this is the first use of floating-point since entering Secure state. This allows an attacker to read a limited quantity of Secure stack contents with an impact on confidentiality.
This issue is specific to code generated using LLVM-based compilers. (CVE-2024-7883)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
