    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information     leaks.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 6.1.112-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - ethtool: check device is present when getting link settings A sysfs reader can race with a device reset or     removal, attempting to read device state when the device is not actually present. eg: [exception RIP:
    qed_get_current_link+17] #8 [ffffb9e4f2907c48] qede_get_link_ksettings at ffffffffc07a994a [qede] #9     [ffffb9e4f2907cd8] __rh_call_get_link_ksettings at ffffffff992b01a3 #10 [ffffb9e4f2907d38]

    __LINK_STATE_START (0b1) and __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER (0b100). The device is not present, note lack of
    __LINK_STATE_PRESENT (0b10). This is the same sort of panic as observed in commit 4224cfd7fb65 (net-     sysfs: add check for netdevice being present to speed_show). There are many other callers of
    __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() which don't have a device presence check. Move this check into ethtool to     protect all callers. (CVE-2024-46679)

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