medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462290

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: md/raid10: fix divide-by-zero in
 setup_geo() with zero far_copies setup_geo() extracts near_copies (nc) and far_copies (fc) from the user-
 provided layout parameter without checking for zero. When fc=0 with the "improved" far set layout
 selected, 'geo->far_set_size = disks / fc' triggers a divide-by-zero. Validate nc and fc immediately after
 extraction, returning -1 if either is zero. (CVE-2026-46161)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.176-1 or later.
