Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2023-54308

high Nessus Plugin ID 281531

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: ALSA: ymfpci: Create card with device- managed snd_devm_card_new() snd_card_ymfpci_remove() was removed in commit c6e6bb5eab74 (ALSA: ymfpci:
 Allocate resources with device-managed APIs), but the call to snd_card_new() was not replaced with snd_devm_card_new(). Since there was no longer a call to snd_card_free, unloading the module would eventually result in Oops: [697561.532887] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc0924480 [697561.532893] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [697561.532896] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not- present page [697561.532899] PGD ae1e15067 P4D ae1e15067 PUD ae1e17067 PMD 11a8f5067 PTE 0 [697561.532905] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI [697561.532909] CPU: 21 PID: 5080 Comm: wireplumber Tainted: G W OE 6.2.7 #1 [697561.532914] Hardware name: System manufacturer System Product Name/TUF GAMING X570-PLUS, BIOS 4408 10/28/2022 [697561.532916] RIP: 0010:try_module_get.part.0+0x1a/0xe0 [697561.532924] Code: 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 0f 1f 44 00 00 55 48 89 e5 41 55 41 54 49 89 fc bf 01 00 00 00 e8 56 3c f8 ff <41> 83 3c 24 02 0f 84 96 00 00 00 41 8b 84 24 30 03 00 00 85 c0 0f [697561.532927] RSP:
