"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-2024-50041 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i40e: Fix macvlan leak by
    synchronizing access to mac_filter_hash This patch addresses a macvlan leak issue in the i40e driver
    caused by concurrent access to vsi->mac_filter_hash. The leak occurs when multiple threads attempt to
    modify the mac_filter_hash simultaneously, leading to inconsistent state and potential memory leaks. To
    fix this, we now wrap the calls to i40e_del_mac_filter() and zeroing vf->default_lan_addr.addr with
    spin_lock/unlock_bh(&vsi->mac_filter_hash_lock), ensuring atomic operations and preventing concurrent
    access. Additionally, we add lockdep_assert_held(&vsi->mac_filter_hash_lock) in i40e_add_mac_filter() to
    help catch similar issues in the future. Reproduction steps: 1. Spawn VFs and configure port vlan on them.
    2. Trigger concurrent macvlan operations (e.g., adding and deleting portvlan and/or mac filters). 3.
    Observe the potential memory leak and inconsistent state in the mac_filter_hash. This synchronization
    ensures the integrity of the mac_filter_hash and prevents the described leak. (CVE-2024-50041)

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