The remote Debian 12 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5892 advisory.- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-5892-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff April 03, 2025 https://www.debian.org/security/faq

Package : atop CVE ID : CVE-2025-31160
It was discovered that Atop, a monitor tool for system resources and process activity, always tried to connect to the port of atopgpud (an additional daemon gathering GPU statistics not shipped in Debian) while performing insufficient sanitising of the data read from this port.
With this update, additional validation is added and by default atop no longer tries to connect to the atopgpud daemon port unless explicitly enabled via -k.
For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 2.8.1-1+deb12u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your atop packages.
For the detailed security status of atop please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/atop
