Google: sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1: security update to 18244.85.64

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 451645

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: maple_tree: fix mas_empty_area_rev()
null pointer dereference Currently the code calls mas_start() followed by mas_data_end() if the maple
state is MA_START, but mas_start() may return with the maple state node == NULL. This will lead to a null
pointer dereference when checking information in the NULL node, which is done in mas_data_end(). Avoid
setting the offset if there is no node by waiting until after the maple state is checked for an empty or
single entry state. A user could trigger the events to cause a kernel oops by unmapping all vmas to
produce an empty maple tree, then mapping a vma that would cause the scenario described above.
(CVE-2024-36891)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18244.85.64 or later.
