CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: kernel (CVE-2024-36897)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 205685

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

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-2024-36897 advisory.

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Atom Integrated System Info v2_2 for DCN35 New request from KMD/VBIOS in order to support new UMA carveout model. This fixes a null dereference from accessing Ctx->dc_bios->integrated_info while it was NULL. DAL parses through the BIOS and extracts the necessary integrated_info but was missing a case for the new BIOS version 2.3. (CVE-2024-36897)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
