Google: sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1, sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_6: security update to 18613.0.79

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 466370

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: x86/mm: Fix pti_clone_pgtable()
alignment assumption Guenter reported dodgy crashes on an i386-nosmp build using GCC-11 that had the form
of endless traps until entry stack exhaust and then #DF from the stack guard. It turned out that
pti_clone_pgtable() had alignment assumptions on the start address, notably it hard assumes start is PMD
aligned. This is true on x86_64, but very much not true on i386. These assumptions can cause the end
condition to malfunction, leading to a 'short' clone. Guess what happens when the user mapping has a short
copy of the entry text? Use the correct increment form for addr to avoid alignment assumptions.
(CVE-2024-44965)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18613.0.79 or later.
