  - An issue was discovered in write_tpt_entry in drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/mem.c in the Linux kernel
    through 5.3.2. The cxgb4 driver is directly calling dma_map_single (a DMA function) from a stack variable.
    This could allow an attacker to trigger a Denial of Service, exploitable if this driver is used on an
    architecture for which this stack/DMA interaction has security relevance. (CVE-2019-17075)

    we get int alloc_len value -1104926854, and then pass the huge arr_len to fill_from_dev_buffer(), but
    arr is only 32 bytes. This leads to OOB in sg_copy_buffer(). To solve this issue, define alloc_len as u32.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: ngene: Fix out-of-bounds bug in
    ngene_command_config_free_buf() Fix an 11-year old bug in ngene_command_config_free_buf() while addressing
    the following warnings caught with -Warray-bounds: arch/alpha/include/asm/string.h:22:16: warning:
    '__builtin_memcpy' offset [12, 16] from the object at 'com' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject
    'config' with type 'unsigned char' at offset 10 [-Warray-bounds] arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:182:25:
    warning: '__builtin_memcpy' offset [12, 16] from the object at 'com' is out of the bounds of referenced
    subobject 'config' with type 'unsigned char' at offset 10 [-Warray-bounds] The problem is that the
    original code is trying to copy 6 bytes of data into a one-byte size member _config_ of the wrong structue
    FW_CONFIGURE_BUFFERS, in a single call to memcpy(). This causes a legitimate compiler warning because
    memcpy() overruns the length of &com.cmd.ConfigureBuffers.config. It seems that the right structure is
    FW_CONFIGURE_FREE_BUFFERS, instead, because it contains 6 more members apart from the header _hdr_. Also,
    the name of the function ngene_command_config_free_buf() suggests that the actual intention is to
    ConfigureFreeBuffers, instead of ConfigureBuffers (which takes place in the function
    ngene_command_config_buf(), above). Fix this by enclosing those 6 members of struct
    FW_CONFIGURE_FREE_BUFFERS into new struct config, and use &com.cmd.ConfigureFreeBuffers.config as the
    destination address, instead of &com.cmd.ConfigureBuffers.config, when calling memcpy(). This also helps
    with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds and get us closer to being able to tighten the
    FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy(). (CVE-2021-47288)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: act_skbmod: Skip non-
    Ethernet packets Currently tcf_skbmod_act() assumes that packets use Ethernet as their L2 protocol, which
    is not always the case. As an example, for CAN devices: $ ip link add dev vcan0 type vcan $ ip link set up
    vcan0 $ tc qdisc add dev vcan0 root handle 1: htb $ tc filter add dev vcan0 parent 1: protocol ip prio 10
    \ matchall action skbmod swap mac Doing the above silently corrupts all the packets. Do not perform skbmod
    actions for non-Ethernet packets. (CVE-2021-47293)

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