Google: sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1, sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_6: security update to 18613.75.60

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 466568

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: posix-clock: Fix missing timespec64
check in pc_clock_settime() As Andrew pointed out, it will make sense that the PTP core checked timespec64
struct's tv_sec and tv_nsec range before calling ptp->info->settime64(). As the man manual of
clock_settime() said, if tp.tv_sec is negative or tp.tv_nsec is outside the range [0..999,999,999], it
should return EINVAL, which include dynamic clocks which handles PTP clock, and the condition is
consistent with timespec64_valid(). As Thomas suggested, timespec64_valid() only check the timespec is
valid, but not ensure that the time is in a valid range, so check it ahead using timespec64_valid_strict()
in pc_clock_settime() and return -EINVAL if not valid. There are some drivers that use tp->tv_sec and
tp->tv_nsec directly to write registers without validity checks and assume that the higher layer has
checked it, which is dangerous and will benefit from this, such as hclge_ptp_settime(),
igb_ptp_settime_i210(), _rcar_gen4_ptp_settime(), and some drivers can remove the checks of itself.
(CVE-2024-50195)
