medium Nessus Plugin ID 212811

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-2024-50093 advisory.

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal: intel: int340x: processor:
 Fix warning during module unload The processor_thermal driver uses pcim_device_enable() to enable a PCI device, which means the device will be automatically disabled on driver detach. Thus there is no need to call pci_disable_device() again on it. With recent PCI device resource management improvements, e.g.
 commit f748a07a0b64 (PCI: Remove legacy pcim_release()), this problem is exposed and triggers the warining below.
