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.

  - drm/msm/dsi: don't dump registers past the mapped region On DSI 6G platforms the IO address space is     internally adjusted by io_offset. Later this adjusted address might be used for memory dumping. However     the size that is used for memory dumping isn't adjusted to account for the io_offset, leading to the     potential access to the unmapped region. Lower ctrl_size by the io_offset value to prevent access past the     mapped area. msm_disp_snapshot_add_block+0x1d4/0x3c8 [msm] (P) msm_dsi_host_snapshot+0x4c/0x78 [msm]     msm_dsi_snapshot+0x28/0x50 [msm] msm_disp_snapshot_capture_state+0x74/0x140 [msm]     msm_disp_snapshot_state_sync+0x60/0x90 [msm] _msm_disp_snapshot_work+0x30/0x90 [msm]     kthread_worker_fn+0xdc/0x460 kthread+0x120/0x140 Patchwork:

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