medium Nessus Plugin ID 209045

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-2024-44982 advisory.

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/dpu: cleanup FB if dpu_format_populate_layout fails If the dpu_format_populate_layout() fails, then FB is prepared, but not cleaned up. This ends up leaking the pin_count on the GEM object and causes a splat during DRM file closure: msm_obj->pin_count WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 569 at drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm_gem.c:121 update_lru_locked+0xc4/0xcc [...] Call trace: update_lru_locked+0xc4/0xcc put_pages+0xac/0x100 msm_gem_free_object+0x138/0x180 drm_gem_object_free+0x1c/0x30 drm_gem_object_handle_put_unlocked+0x108/0x10c drm_gem_object_release_handle+0x58/0x70 idr_for_each+0x68/0xec drm_gem_release+0x28/0x40 drm_file_free+0x174/0x234 drm_release+0xb0/0x160
