Google: sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1: security update to 18244.291.36

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 451763

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: iommu: Return right value in
 iommu_sva_bind_device() iommu_sva_bind_device() should return either a sva bond handle or an ERR_PTR value
 in error cases. Existing drivers (idxd and uacce) only check the return value with IS_ERR(). This could
 potentially lead to a kernel NULL pointer dereference issue if the function returns NULL instead of an
 error pointer. In reality, this doesn't cause any problems because iommu_sva_bind_device() only returns
 NULL when the kernel is not configured with CONFIG_IOMMU_SVA. In this case, iommu_dev_enable_feature(dev,
 IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_SVA) will return an error, and the device drivers won't call iommu_sva_bind_device() at
 all. (CVE-2024-40945)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18244.291.36 or later.
