critical Nessus Plugin ID 283639

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.

- media: iris: Add sanity check for stop streaming Add sanity check in iris_vb2_stop_streaming. If inst->state is already IRIS_INST_ERROR, we should skip the stream_off operation because it would still send packets to the firmware. In iris_kill_session, inst->state is set to IRIS_INST_ERROR and session_close is executed, which will kfree(inst_hfi_gen2->packet). If stop_streaming is called afterward, it will cause a crash. [bod: remove qcom from patch title] (CVE-2025-68812)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
