medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 465177

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: net: ftgmac100: fix ring allocation
 unwind on open failure ftgmac100_alloc_rings() allocates rx_skbs, tx_skbs, rxdes, txdes, and rx_scratch in
 stages. On intermediate failures it returned -ENOMEM directly, leaking resources allocated earlier in the
 function. Rework the failure path to use staged local unwind labels and free allocated resources in
 reverse order before returning -ENOMEM. This matches common netdev allocation cleanup style.

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.170-1 or later.
