PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/01/2014 Fixes copying of xfrm algorithms where some random data
of the structure fields can end up in userspace. Padding in structures may be filled with random (possibly
sensitve) data and should never be given directly to user-space. A similar issue was resolved in the
commit 8222d5910dae ("xfrm: Zero padding when dumping algos and encap") Found by Linux Verification Center
(linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller. (CVE-2024-50110)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18244.236.44 or later.
