Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: kernel (CVE-2024-41089)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 295965

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of kernel installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-41089 advisory.

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/nouveau/dispnv04: fix null pointer dereference in nv17_tv_get_hd_modes In nv17_tv_get_hd_modes(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate() is assigned to mode, which will lead to a possible NULL pointer dereference on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). The same applies to drm_cvt_mode(). Add a check to avoid null pointer dereference.
 (CVE-2024-41089)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
