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

  - Squashfs: fix uninit-value in squashfs_get_parent Syzkaller reports a KMSAN: uninit-value in     squashfs_get_parent bug. This is caused by open_by_handle_at() being called with a file handle containing     an invalid parent inode number. In particular the inode number is that of a symbolic link, rather than a     directory. Squashfs_get_parent() gets called with that symbolic link inode, and accesses the parent member     field. unsigned int parent_ino = squashfs_i(inode)->parent; Because non-directory inodes in Squashfs do     not have a parent value, this is uninitialised, and this causes an uninitialised value access. The fix is     to initialise parent with the invalid inode 0, which will cause an EINVAL error to be returned. Regular     inodes used to share the parent field with the block_list_start field. This is removed in this commit to     enable the parent field to contain the invalid inode number 0. (CVE-2025-40049)

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

An update of the linux package has been released.

The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6053 advisory.

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

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 6.1.158-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
