medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 461710

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: hfsplus: Verify inode mode when
 loading from disk syzbot is reporting that S_IFMT bits of inode->i_mode can become bogus when the S_IFMT
 bits of the 16bits "mode" field loaded from disk are corrupted. According to [1], the permissions field
 was treated as reserved in Mac OS 8 and 9. According to [2], the reserved field was explicitly initialized
 with 0, and that field must remain 0 as long as reserved. Therefore, when the "mode" field is not 0 (i.e.
 no longer reserved), the file must be S_IFDIR if dir == 1, and the file must be one of
 S_IFREG/S_IFLNK/S_IFCHR/ S_IFBLK/S_IFIFO/S_IFSOCK if dir == 0. (CVE-2025-68767)

Solution

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