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: cpufreq: zero-initialize policy
 cpumask before sysfs publication cpufreq_policy_alloc() allocates policy->cpus with alloc_cpumask_var(),
 i.e. without __GFP_ZERO, unlike the sibling related_cpus and real_cpus masks. With
 CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y the mask is a separate kmalloc_node() allocation, so its bitmap holds whatever
 the slab allocator left behind: cpufreq_online() cpufreq_policy_alloc() alloc_cpumask_var(&policy->cpus)
 /* bitmap is uninitialized */ kobject_init_and_add() /* policy%u/ appears in sysfs */
 cpufreq_policy_online() cpumask_copy(policy->cpus, cpumask_of(cpu)) /* first valid value */ This leaves a
 window in which the sysfs attributes are already reachable while policy->cpus is still garbage.
 show()/store() gate on policy_is_inactive(), i.e. cpumask_empty(policy->cpus), so a non-zero bitmap makes
 them run the attribute callbacks on a policy that is not initialized yet. Fix this by using
 zalloc_cpumask_var() for policy->cpus. (CVE-2026-97905)

Solution

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