high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 475556

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: btrfs: tree-checker: validate names in
ROOT_REF and ROOT_BACKREF ROOT_REF and ROOT_BACKREF items contain a struct btrfs_root_ref followed by the
subvolume name. Several readers assume that this layout is already valid and then use the on-disk name
length directly. A corrupted item can therefore make those readers address bytes outside the item, and
BTRFS_IOC_GET_SUBVOL_INFO can copy too many bytes into its fixed-size UAPI name buffer. Validate ROOT_REF
and ROOT_BACKREF items in tree-checker before any reader uses them. Reject records that do not contain a
non-empty name, whose name_len does not exactly describe the remaining item payload, or whose name exceeds
BTRFS_NAME_LEN. For BTRFS_IOC_GET_SUBVOL_INFO, copy only the validated on-disk name_len instead of
deriving the copy length from the item size. The ioctl result is zeroed when allocated. That leaves the
existing trailing zero byte untouched. (CVE-2026-97415)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/cchost-kernel-6_18 library and its related packages to version 20198.0.0 or later.
