medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 455274

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: libceph: return the handler error from
 mon_handle_auth_done() Currently any error from ceph_auth_handle_reply_done() is propagated via
 finish_auth() but isn't returned from mon_handle_auth_done(). This results in higher layers learning that
 (despite the monitor considering us to be successfully authenticated) something went wrong in the
 authentication phase and reacting accordingly, but msgr2 still trying to proceed with establishing the
 session in the background. In the case of secure mode this can trigger a WARN in setup_crypto() and later
 lead to a NULL pointer dereference inside of prepare_auth_signature(). (CVE-2026-22992)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.162-1 or later.
