high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 475278

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: io_uring/query: cap user size passed
to copy_struct_to_user io_handle_query_entry() clamps hdr.size for the inbound copy_from_user() but keeps
the original user value as usize. copy_struct_to_user() uses that usize and, when it is larger than the
kernel result, clear_user()s the trailing bytes. As hdr.size is a __u32, a query can request nearly 4 GiB
of zeroing, including on the error path where res_size stays 0. The interface is reachable without a ring
via IORING_REGISTER_QUERY. Reject sizes larger than PAGE_SIZE, as recommended for copy_struct_*
interfaces. (CVE-2026-81009)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/cchost-kernel-6_18 library and its related packages to version 19999.44.106 or later.
