"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-2025-39735 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: jfs: fix slab-out-of-bounds read in
    ea_get() During the size_check label in ea_get(), the code checks if the extended attribute list (xattr)
    size matches ea_size. If not, it logs ea_get: invalid extended attribute and calls print_hex_dump().
    Here, EALIST_SIZE(ea_buf->xattr) returns 4110417968, which exceeds INT_MAX (2,147,483,647). Then ea_size
    is clamped: int size = clamp_t(int, ea_size, 0, EALIST_SIZE(ea_buf->xattr)); Although clamp_t aims to
    bound ea_size between 0 and 4110417968, the upper limit is treated as an int, causing an overflow above
    2^31 - 1. This leads size to wrap around and become negative (-184549328). The size is then passed to
    print_hex_dump() (called len in print_hex_dump()), it is passed as type size_t (an unsigned type), this
    is then stored inside a variable called int remaining, which is then assigned to int linelen which is
    then passed to hex_dump_to_buffer(). In print_hex_dump() the for loop, iterates through 0 to len-1, where
    len is 18446744073525002176, calling hex_dump_to_buffer() on each iteration: for (i = 0; i < len; i +=
    rowsize) { linelen = min(remaining, rowsize); remaining -= rowsize; hex_dump_to_buffer(ptr + i, linelen,
    rowsize, groupsize, linebuf, sizeof(linebuf), ascii); ... } The expected stopping condition (i < len) is
    effectively broken since len is corrupted and very large. This eventually leads to the ptr+i being
    passed to hex_dump_to_buffer() to get closer to the end of the actual bounds of ptr, eventually an out
    of bounds access is done in hex_dump_to_buffer() in the following for loop: for (j = 0; j < len; j++) { if
    (linebuflen < lx + 2) goto overflow2; ch = ptr[j]; ... } To fix this we should validate
    EALIST_SIZE(ea_buf->xattr) before it is utilised. (CVE-2025-39735)

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