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: md/md-bitmap: Synchronize     bitmap_get_stats() with bitmap lifetime After commit ec6bb299c7c3 (md/md-bitmap: add 'sync_size' into     struct md_bitmap_stats), following panic is reported: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-     canonical address RIP: 0010:bitmap_get_stats+0x2b/0xa0 Call Trace: <TASK> md_seq_show+0x2d2/0x5b0     seq_read_iter+0x2b9/0x470 seq_read+0x12f/0x180 proc_reg_read+0x57/0xb0 vfs_read+0xf6/0x380     ksys_read+0x6c/0xf0 do_syscall_64+0x82/0x170 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e Root cause is that     bitmap_get_stats() can be called at anytime if mddev is still there, even if bitmap is destroyed, or not     fully initialized. Deferenceing bitmap in this case can crash the kernel. Meanwhile, the above commit     start to deferencing bitmap->storage, make the problem easier to trigger. Fix the problem by protecting     bitmap_get_stats() with bitmap_info.mutex. (CVE-2025-21712)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

An update of the linux package has been released.

The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5900 advisory.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information     leaks.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 6.1.133-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
