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

  - gpio: tegra: do not call pinctrl for GPIO direction tegra_gpio_direction_input() and     tegra_gpio_direction_output() already program the GPIO controller direction registers directly. The     additional pinctrl_gpio_direction_input/output() calls do not add a Tegra pinctrl operation, because the     Tegra pinmux ops provide GPIO request/free handling but no gpio_set_direction hook. The extra call still     enters the pinctrl core and takes pctldev->mutex. Shared GPIO users can call the direction path while     holding their per-line spinlock, so this otherwise redundant pinctrl direction call can sleep in an atomic     context. This was found by our static analysis tool and then confirmed by manual review of     tegra_gpio_probe(), the Tegra GPIO direction callbacks and the Tegra pinctrl ops. The reviewed path has a     default non-sleeping struct gpio_chip while the direction callback still enters the pinctrl mutex path. A     directed runtime validation kept the same non-sleeping chip registration and drove:
    gpio_shared_proxy_direction_output() gpiod_direction_output_raw_commit() tegra_gpio_direction_output()     pinctrl_gpio_direction_output() Lockdep reported a sleep-in-atomic warning with the shared GPIO spinlock     held and pinctrl_get_device_gpio_range() plus tegra_gpio_direction_output() on the stack. Do not mark the     whole chip as can_sleep to paper over this: can_sleep describes whether get()/set() may sleep, and Tegra     value access is MMIO. Remove the redundant pinctrl direction calls and keep pinctrl involvement in the     existing request/free path. (CVE-2026-72063)

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

An update of the linux package has been released.
