high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 475750

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: erofs: fix interlaced ztailpacking
pclusters On-disk sizes of interlaced pclusters should be block-aligned, and ztailpacking interlaced
pclusters should be invalid at all. Currently, mkfs.erofs won't generate any interlaced pcluster with
ztailpacking enabled, so this doesn't affect any existing valid filesystems. However, crafted images can
contain invalid interlaced ztailpacking pclusters, resulting in an out-of-bounds read from a kmap'd page
and copying irrelevant kernel memory into userspace-visible page cache. (CVE-2026-90161)

Solution

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