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: ipv6: sr: restore network header
 before routing and forwarding ipv6_srh_rcv() runs with skb->data at the Segment Routing Header (SRH) while
 skb_network_header() points at the IPv6 header. When segments_left > 0, ipv6_srh_rcv() previously restored
 the skb->data position by pushing sizeof(struct ipv6hdr), assuming the SRH immediately followed the fixed
 IPv6 header. If another extension header (such as a Hop-by-Hop options header) precedes the SRH,
 skb_network_offset() remained negative. This led to two problems: 1. During ip6_route_input(),
 fib6_rules_early_flow_dissect() invokes __skb_flow_dissect() which passes the negative
 skb_network_offset() to flow dissection, breaking BPF and C flow dissector logic. 2. If forwarded via
 ip6_forward() or redirected via act_mirred, downstream handlers (like sch_fragment() or neighbour output)
 pass the negative offset as an unsigned length, triggering OOB memcpy or buffer overflows. Fix this by
 pushing -skb_network_offset(skb) before routing, ensuring skb_network_offset(skb) is 0 for route lookup /
 flow dissection as well as downstream forwarding. On the loopback path, pull skb_transport_offset(skb) to
 restore skb->data to the SRH before looping back. (CVE-2026-98096)

Solution

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