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 pointer is treated as a 32bit value     and sign extend to 64bit in epilogue. This behavior is right for most bpf prog types but wrong for struct     ops which requires LoongArch ABI. So let's sign extend struct ops return values according to the LoongArch     ABI ([1]) and return value spec in function model.

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