"The version of kernel installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-46693 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soc: qcom: pmic_glink: Fix race during
    initialization As pointed out by Stephen Boyd it is possible that during initialization of the pmic_glink
    child drivers, the protection-domain notifiers fires, and the associated work is scheduled, before the
    client registration returns and as a result the local client pointer has been initialized. The outcome
    of this is a NULL pointer dereference as the client pointer is blindly dereferenced. Timeline provided
    by Stephen: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- ucsi->client = NULL; devm_pmic_glink_register_client()
    client->pdr_notify(client->priv, pg->client_state) pmic_glink_ucsi_pdr_notify()
    schedule_work(&ucsi->register_work) <schedule away> pmic_glink_ucsi_register() ucsi_register()
    pmic_glink_ucsi_read_version() pmic_glink_ucsi_read() pmic_glink_ucsi_read() pmic_glink_send(ucsi->client)
    <client is NULL BAD> ucsi->client = client // Too late! This code is identical across the altmode, battery
    manager and usci child drivers. Resolve this by splitting the allocation of the client object and the
    registration thereof into two operations. This only happens if the protection domain registry is populated
    at the time of registration, which by the introduction of commit '1ebcde047c54 (soc: qcom: add pd-mapper
    implementation)' became much more likely. (CVE-2024-46693)

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