high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462006

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: ksmbd: close accepted socket when per-
 IP limit rejects connection When the per-IP connection limit is exceeded in ksmbd_kthread_fn(), the code
 sets ret = -EAGAIN and continues the accept loop without closing the just-accepted socket. That leaks one
 socket per rejected attempt from a single IP and enables a trivial remote DoS. Release client_sk before
 continuing. This bug was found with ZeroPath. (CVE-2025-68246)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.159-1 or later.
