Google: sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1, sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_6: security update to 18613.0.3

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 466446

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: ext4: fix infinite loop when replaying
fast_commit When doing fast_commit replay an infinite loop may occur due to an uninitialized extent_status
struct. ext4_ext_determine_insert_hole() does not detect the replay and calls ext4_es_find_extent_range(),
which will return immediately without initializing the 'es' variable. Because 'es' contains garbage, an
integer overflow may happen causing an infinite loop in this function, easily reproducible using fstest
generic/039. This commit fixes this issue by unconditionally initializing the structure in function
ext4_es_find_extent_range(). Thanks to Zhang Yi, for figuring out the real problem! (CVE-2024-43828)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18613.0.3 or later.
