Google: sys-kernel/csql-kernel-6_1, sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1: security update to 18244.85.5

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 450866

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/mlx5: Properly link new fs rules
into the tree Previously, add_rule_fg would only add newly created rules from the handle into the tree
when they had a refcount of 1. On the other hand, create_flow_handle tries hard to find and reference
already existing identical rules instead of creating new ones. These two behaviors can result in a
situation where create_flow_handle 1) creates a new rule and references it, then 2) in a subsequent step
during the same handle creation references it again, resulting in a rule with a refcount of 2 that is not
linked into the tree, will have a NULL parent and root and will result in a crash when the flow group is
deleted because del_sw_hw_rule, invoked on rule deletion, assumes node->parent is != NULL. This happened
in the wild, due to another bug related to incorrect handling of duplicate pkt_reformat ids, which lead to
the code in create_flow_handle incorrectly referencing a just-added rule in the same flow handle,
resulting in the problem described above. Full details are at [1]. This patch changes add_rule_fg to add
new rules without parents into the tree, properly initializing them and avoiding the crash. This makes it
more consistent with how rules are added to an FTE in create_flow_handle. (CVE-2024-35960)
