Bottlerocket: kernel-6.1: security update to 2.3.0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427944

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: use timestamp to
check for set element timeout Add a timestamp field at the beginning of the transaction, store it in the
nftables per-netns area. Update set backend .insert, .deactivate and sync gc path to use the timestamp,
this avoids that an element expires while control plane transaction is still unfinished. .lookup and
.update, which are used from packet path, still use the current time to check if the element has expired.
And .get path and dump also since this runs lockless under rcu read size lock. Then, there is async gc
which also needs to check the current time since it runs asynchronously from a workqueue. (CVE-2024-27397)

Solution

Update the kernel-6.1 library and its related packages to version 2.3.0 or later.
