high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 469228

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: slip: bound decode() reads against the
 compressed packet length slhc_uncompress() parses a VJ-compressed TCP header by advancing a pointer
 through the packet via decode() and pull16(). Neither helper bounds-checks against isize, and decode()
 masks its return with & 0xffff so it can never return the -1 that callers test for -- those error paths
 are dead code. A short compressed frame whose change byte requests optional fields lets decode() read past
 the end of the packet. The over-read bytes are folded into the cached cstate and reflected into subsequent
 reconstructed packets. Make decode() and pull16() take the packet end pointer and return -1 when
 exhausted. Add a bounds check before the TCP-checksum read. The existing == -1 tests now do what they were
 always meant to. (CVE-2026-45843)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/cchost-kernel-6_12 library and its related packages to version 19216.395.73 or later.
