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 before 5.16.3, drivers/bluetooth/hci_qca.c misinterprets the     devm_gpiod_get_index_optional return value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is     actually an error pointer). (CVE-2023-23002)

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

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-414324 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel before 5.16.3, drivers/bluetooth/hci_qca.c misinterprets the     devm_gpiod_get_index_optional return value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is     actually an error pointer).

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

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

The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-23002 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.16.3, drivers/bluetooth/hci_qca.c misinterprets the     devm_gpiod_get_index_optional return value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is     actually an error pointer). (CVE-2023-23002)

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

An update of the linux package has been released.
