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: bpf: Fix constant blinding for
PROBE_MEM32 stores BPF_ST | BPF_PROBE_MEM32 immediate stores are not handled by bpf_jit_blind_insn(),
allowing user-controlled 32-bit immediates to survive unblinded into JIT-compiled native code when
bpf_jit_harden >= 1. The root cause is that convert_ctx_accesses() rewrites BPF_ST|BPF_MEM to
BPF_ST|BPF_PROBE_MEM32 for arena pointer stores during verification, before bpf_jit_blind_constants() runs
during JIT compilation. The blinding switch only matches BPF_ST|BPF_MEM (mode 0x60), not
BPF_ST|BPF_PROBE_MEM32 (mode 0xa0). The instruction falls through unblinded. Add BPF_ST|BPF_PROBE_MEM32
cases to bpf_jit_blind_insn() alongside the existing BPF_ST|BPF_MEM cases. The blinding transformation is
identical: load the blinded immediate into BPF_REG_AX via mov+xor, then convert the immediate store to a
register store (BPF_STX). The rewritten STX instruction must preserve the BPF_PROBE_MEM32 mode so the
architecture JIT emits the correct arena addressing (R12-based on x86-64). Cannot use the BPF_STX_MEM()
macro here because it hardcodes BPF_MEM mode; construct the instruction directly instead. (CVE-2026-23417)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/cchost-kernel-6_12 library and its related packages to version 19506.120.44 or later.
