"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-2024-47747 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: seeq: Fix use after free
    vulnerability in ether3 Driver Due to Race Condition In the ether3_probe function, a timer is initialized
    with a callback function ether3_ledoff, bound to &prev(dev)->timer. Once the timer is started, there is a
    risk of a race condition if the module or device is removed, triggering the ether3_remove function to
    perform cleanup. The sequence of operations that May lead to a UAF bug is as follows: CPU0 CPU1 |
    ether3_ledoff ether3_remove | free_netdev(dev); | put_devic | kfree(dev); | |
    ether3_outw(priv(dev)->regs.config2 |= CFG2_CTRLO, REG_CONFIG2); | // use dev Fix it by ensuring that the
    timer is canceled before proceeding with the cleanup in ether3_remove. (CVE-2024-47747)

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