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: fanotify: fix use-after-free of file
range info fsnotify_pre_content() builds its file_range on the triggering task's stack.
fanotify_alloc_perm_event() saves a pointer to range.pos in the heap-allocated permission event so
copy_range_info_to_user() can report the offset later. The event reader can set the event state to
FAN_EVENT_REPORTED and then sleep while preparing the file descriptor. If a signal interrupts the
triggering task at that point, fanotify_get_response() changes the state to FAN_EVENT_CANCELED and
returns. This unwinds the file_range stack frame while the reader still owns the event. The reader then
dereferences pevent->ppos and copies the stale stack value to userspace. KASAN reported: BUG: KASAN: use-
after-free in fanotify_read+0x293e/0x2970 Read of size 8 at addr ffff88811434fc50 by task
fanotify_inotif/95 Call Trace: fanotify_read+0x293e/0x2970 vfs_read+0x177/0xa20 ksys_read+0xf7/0x1c0
do_syscall_64+0xf9/0x540 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Store the range position directly in the
permission event and use FANOTIFY_NO_RANGE when range information is unavailable. The event remains alive
until the reader finishes, so the reported offset no longer depends on the triggering task's stack.
(CVE-2026-89600)

Solution

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