  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: ses: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in
    ses_intf_remove() A fix for: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ses_intf_remove+0x23f/0x270 [ses] Read of
    size 8 at addr ffff88a10d32e5d8 by task rmmod/12013 When edev->components is zero, accessing
    edev->component[0] members is wrong. (CVE-2023-53521)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bna: ensure the copied buf is NUL
    terminated Currently, we allocate a nbytes-sized kernel buffer and copy nbytes from userspace to that
    buffer. Later, we use sscanf on this buffer but we don't ensure that the string is terminated inside the
    buffer, this can lead to OOB read when using sscanf. Fix this issue by using memdup_user_nul instead of
    memdup_user. (CVE-2024-36934)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: reject malicious packets in
    ipv6_gso_segment() syzbot was able to craft a packet with very long IPv6 extension headers leading to an
    overflow of skb->transport_header. This 16bit field has a limited range. Add
    skb_reset_transport_header_careful() helper and use it from ipv6_gso_segment() WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5871

    pptp_xmit() Commit aabc6596ffb3 (net: ppp: Add bound checking for skb data on ppp_sync_txmung) fixed
    ppp_sync_txmunge() We need a similar fix in pptp_xmit(), otherwise we might read uninit data as reported

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: uvcvideo: Fix 1-byte out-of-
    bounds read in uvc_parse_format() The buffer length check before calling uvc_parse_format() only ensured
    that the buffer has at least 3 bytes (buflen > 2), buf the function accesses buffer[3], requiring at least
    4 bytes. This can lead to an out-of-bounds read if the buffer has exactly 3 bytes. Fix it by checking that
    the buffer has at least 4 bytes in uvc_parse_format(). (CVE-2025-38680)

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