Google: sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1: security update to 18244.151.33

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 450700

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: net: nexthop: Initialize all fields in
 dumped nexthops struct nexthop_grp contains two reserved fields that are not initialized by
 nla_put_nh_group(), and carry garbage. This can be observed e.g. with strace (edited for clarity): # ip
 nexthop add id 1 dev lo # ip nexthop add id 101 group 1 # strace -e recvmsg ip nexthop get id 101 ...
 recvmsg(... [{nla_len=12, nla_type=NHA_GROUP}, [{id=1, weight=0, resvd1=0x69, resvd2=0x67}]] ...) = 52 The
 fields are reserved and therefore not currently used. But as they are, they leak kernel memory, and the
 fact they are not just zero complicates repurposing of the fields for new ends. Initialize the full
 structure. (CVE-2024-42283)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18244.151.33 or later.
