Google: sys-kernel/cchost-kernel-6_12, sys-kernel/csql-kernel-6_6: security update to 19216.395.4

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 468221

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: netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: fix entry
leak in bridge verdict error path nfqnl_recv_verdict() calls find_dequeue_entry() to remove the queue
entry from the queue data structures, taking ownership of the entry. For PF_BRIDGE packets, it then calls
nfqa_parse_bridge() to parse VLAN attributes. If nfqa_parse_bridge() returns an error (e.g. NFQA_VLAN
present but NFQA_VLAN_TCI missing), the function returns immediately without freeing the dequeued entry or
its sk_buff. This leaks the nf_queue_entry, its associated sk_buff, and all held references (net_device
refcounts, struct net refcount). Repeated triggering exhausts kernel memory. Fix this by dropping the
entry via nfqnl_reinject() with NF_DROP verdict on the error path, consistent with other error handling in
this file. (CVE-2026-43451)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/cchost-kernel-6_12 library and its related packages to version 19216.395.4 or later.
