Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2023-54326

high Nessus Plugin ID 280756

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.

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: misc: pci_endpoint_test: Free IRQs before removing the device In pci_endpoint_test_remove(), freeing the IRQs after removing the device creates a small race window for IRQs to be received with the test device memory already released, causing the IRQ handler to access invalid memory, resulting in an oops. Free the device IRQs before removing the device to avoid this issue. (CVE-2023-54326)

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