high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 469491

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: conntrack: tcp: do not
force CLOSE on invalid-seq RST without direction check An unintended behavior in the TCP conntrack state
machine allows a connection to be forced into the CLOSE state using an RST packet with an invalid sequence
number. Specifically, after a SYN packet is observed, an RST with an invalid SEQ can transition the
conntrack entry to TCP_CONNTRACK_CLOSE, regardless of whether the RST corresponds to the expected reply
direction. The relevant code path assumes the RST is a response to an outgoing SYN, but does not validate
packet direction or ensure that a matching SYN was actually sent in the opposite direction. As a result, a
crafted packet sequence consisting of a SYN followed by an invalid-sequence RST can prematurely terminate
an active NAT entry. This makes connection teardown easier than intended. So, tighten the state transition
logic to ensure that RST-triggered CLOSE transitions only occur when the RST is a valid response to a
previously observed SYN in the correct direction. (CVE-2026-63913)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/cchost-kernel-6_12 library and its related packages to version 19506.299.3 or later.
