"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- Libtpms is a library that targets the integration of TPM functionality into hypervisors, primarily into
Qemu. Libtpms, which is derived from the TPM 2.0 reference implementation code published by the Trusted
Computing Group, is prone to a potential out of bounds (OOB) read vulnerability. The vulnerability occurs
in the CryptHmacSign' function with an inconsistent pairing of the signKey and signScheme parameters,
where the signKey is ALG_KEYEDHASH key and inScheme is an ECC or RSA scheme. The reported vulnerability is
in the CryptHmacSign' function, which is defined in the Part 4: Supporting Routines Code document,
section 7.151 - /tpm/src/crypt/CryptUtil.c . This vulnerability can be triggered from user-mode
applications by sending malicious commands to a TPM 2.0/vTPM (swtpm) whose firmware is based on an
affected TCG reference implementation. The effect on libtpms is that it will cause an abort due to the
detection of the out-of-bounds access, thus for example making a vTPM (swtpm) unavailable to a VM. This
vulnerability is fixed in 0.7.12, 0.8.10, 0.9.7, and 0.10.1. (CVE-2025-49133)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
