Google: sys-kernel/csql-kernel-6_1, sys-kernel/csql-kernel-6_6: security update to 18555.0.0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473379

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: crypto: ecdh - explicitly zeroize
private_key private_key is overwritten with the key parameter passed in by the caller (if present), or
alternatively a newly generated private key. However, it is possible that the caller provides a key (or
the newly generated key) which is shorter than the previous key. In that scenario, some key material from
the previous key would not be overwritten. The easiest solution is to explicitly zeroize the entire
private_key array first. Note that this patch slightly changes the behavior of this function: previously,
if the ecc_gen_privkey failed, the old private_key would remain. Now, the private_key is always zeroized.
This behavior is consistent with the case where params.key is set and ecc_is_key_valid fails.
(CVE-2024-42098)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/csql-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18555.0.0 or later.
