Chainguard: linux-qemu-melange: security update to 6.18.49-r2

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473075

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: riscv: Fix register corruption from
uninitialized cregs on error compat_riscv_gpr_set() calls cregs_to_regs() unconditionally, even when
user_regset_copyin() fails. Since cregs is an uninitialized stack variable, a copyin failure causes
uninitialized stack data to be written into the target task's pt_regs, corrupting its register state and
potentially leaking kernel stack contents. compat_restore_sigcontext() has the same issue: it calls
cregs_to_regs() even when __copy_from_user() fails, leading to the same corruption of the signal-returning
task's register state on error. Only call cregs_to_regs() when the user copy succeeds. (CVE-2026-64082)

Solution

Update the linux-qemu-melange library and its related packages to version 6.18.49-r2 or later.
