"The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-50099 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm64: probes: Remove broken LDR
    (literal) uprobe support The simulate_ldr_literal() and simulate_ldrsw_literal() functions are unsafe to
    use for uprobes. Both functions were originally written for use with kprobes, and access memory with plain
    C accesses. When uprobes was added, these were reused unmodified even though they cannot safely access
    user memory. There are three key problems: 1) The plain C accesses do not have corresponding extable
    entries, and thus if they encounter a fault the kernel will treat these as unintentional accesses to user
    memory, resulting in a BUG() which will kill the kernel thread, and likely lead to further issues (e.g.
    lockup or panic()). 2) The plain C accesses are subject to HW PAN and SW PAN, and so when either is in
    use, any attempt to simulate an access to user memory will fault. Thus neither simulate_ldr_literal() nor
    simulate_ldrsw_literal() can do anything useful when simulating a user instruction on any system with HW
    PAN or SW PAN. 3) The plain C accesses are privileged, as they run in kernel context, and in practice can
    access a small range of kernel virtual addresses. The instructions they simulate have a range of +/-1MiB,
    and since the simulated instructions must itself be a user instructions in the TTBR0 address range, these
    can address the final 1MiB of the TTBR1 acddress range by wrapping downwards from an address in the first
    1MiB of the TTBR0 address range. In contemporary kernels the last 8MiB of TTBR1 address range is reserved,
    and accesses to this will always fault, meaning this is no worse than (1). Historically, it was
    theoretically possible for the linear map or vmemmap to spill into the final 8MiB of the TTBR1 address
    range, but in practice this is extremely unlikely to occur as this would require either: * Having enough
    physical memory to fill the entire linear map all the way to the final 1MiB of the TTBR1 address range. *
    Getting unlucky with KASLR randomization of the linear map such that the populated region happens to
    overlap with the last 1MiB of the TTBR address range. ... and in either case if we were to spill into the
    final page there would be larger problems as the final page would alias with error pointers. Practically
    speaking, (1) and (2) are the big issues. Given there have been no reports of problems since the broken
    code was introduced, it appears that no-one is relying on probing these instructions with uprobes. Avoid
    these issues by not allowing uprobes on LDR (literal) and LDRSW (literal), limiting the use of
    simulate_ldr_literal() and simulate_ldrsw_literal() to kprobes. Attempts to place uprobes on LDR (literal)
    and LDRSW (literal) will be rejected as arm_probe_decode_insn() will return INSN_REJECTED. In future we
    can consider introducing working uprobes support for these instructions, but this will require more
    significant work. (CVE-2024-50099)

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