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: nf_conntrack_sip: fix OOB
read in sip_skip_whitespace() sip_skip_whitespace() returns dptr unchanged when its own loop exhausts the
buffer (dptr == limit), instead of NULL like its sibling sip_follow_continuation() returns on its own "no
more data" path. ct_sip_get_header() only checks for NULL after calling it: dptr =
sip_skip_whitespace(dptr, limit); if (dptr == NULL) break; if (*dptr != ':' || ++dptr >= limit) break; so
a recognized header name followed only by spaces/tabs running to the exact end of the SIP payload, with no
colon, makes the very next statement read one byte past the buffer. Make both "no more data" outcomes
return NULL, matching the convention sip_follow_continuation() already uses and that both existing callers
already check for. (CVE-2026-98077)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/cchost-kernel-6_12 library and its related packages to version 19999.44.106 or later.
