Google: sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1: security update to 17819.0.0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 450525

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: arm64/sme: Set new vector length
before reallocating As part of fixing the allocation of the buffer for SVE state when changing SME vector
length we introduced an immediate reallocation of the SVE state, this is also done when changing the SVE
vector length for consistency. Unfortunately this reallocation is done prior to writing the new vector
length to the task struct, meaning the allocation is done with the old vector length and can lead to
memory corruption due to an undersized buffer being used. Move the update of the vector length before the
allocation to ensure that the new vector length is taken into account. For some reason this isn't
triggering any problems when running tests on the arm64 fixes branch (even after repeated tries) but is
triggering issues very often after merge into mainline. (CVE-2023-53184)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 17819.0.0 or later.
