In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tpm: use try_get_ops() in tpm-space.c As part of the series conversion to remove nested TPM operations: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20190205224723.19671-1-jarkko.sakkinen@linux.intel.com/ exposure of the chip->tpm_mutex was removed from much of the upper level code. In this conversion, tpm2_del_space() was missed. This didn't matter much because it's usually called closely after a converted operation, so there's only a very tiny race window where the chip can be removed before the space flushing is done which causes a NULL deref on the mutex. However, there are reports of this window being hit in practice, so fix this by converting tpm2_del_space() to use tpm_try_get_ops(), which performs all the teardown checks before acquring the mutex.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:1027-1 advisory.

    The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security bugfixes.


    The following security bugs were fixed:

    - CVE-2024-2201: Fixed information leak in x86/BHI (bsc#1217339).
    - CVE-2024-41092: drm/i915/gt: Fix potential UAF by revoke of fence registers (bsc#1228483).
    - CVE-2024-42098: crypto: ecdh - explicitly zeroize private_key (bsc#1228779).
    - CVE-2024-42229: crypto: aead,cipher - zeroize key buffer after use (bsc#1228708).
    - CVE-2024-57996: net_sched: sch_sfq: do not allow 1 packet limit (bsc#1239076).
    - CVE-2024-58014: wifi: brcmsmac: add gain range check to wlc_phy_iqcal_gainparams_nphy() (bsc#1239109).
    - CVE-2025-21718: net: rose: fix timer races against user threads (bsc#1239073).
    - CVE-2025-21780: drm/amdgpu: avoid buffer overflow attach in smu_sys_set_pp_table() (bsc#1239115).


Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tpm: use try_get_ops() in tpm-space.c     As part of the series conversion to remove nested TPM operations:

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.4.188-104.359. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.4-2022-025 advisory.

    Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-224546354References: Upstream kernel     (CVE-2022-20368)

    A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFC protocol functionality. This flaw allows a     local user to crash or escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-26490)

    A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in IPsec ESP transformation code in net/ipv4/esp4.c and     net/ipv6/esp6.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with a normal user privilege to overwrite kernel heap     objects and may cause a local privilege escalation threat. (CVE-2022-27666)

    In the Linux kernel before 5.17.1, a refcount leak bug was found in net/llc/af_llc.c. (CVE-2022-28356)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    usb: usbtmc: Fix bug in pipe direction for control transfers (CVE-2022-48834)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    net/packet: fix slab-out-of-bounds access in packet_recvmsg() (CVE-2022-48839)

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.10.109-104.500. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.10-2022-013 advisory.

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's sound subsystem in the way a user triggers     concurrent calls of PCM hw_params. The hw_free ioctls or similar race condition happens inside ALSA PCM     for other ioctls. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the     system.
