Google: sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1: security update to 17872.0.0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 450572

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: serial: 8250: Fix oops for port->pm on
uart_change_pm() Unloading a hardware specific 8250 driver can produce error "Unable to handle kernel
paging request at virtual address" about ten seconds after unloading the driver. This happens on
uart_hangup() calling uart_change_pm(). Turns out commit 04e82793f068 ("serial: 8250: Reinit port->pm on
port specific driver unbind") was only a partial fix. If the hardware specific driver has initialized
port->pm function, we need to clear port->pm too. Just reinitializing port->ops does not do this.
Otherwise serial8250_pm() will call port->pm() instead of serial8250_do_pm(). (CVE-2023-54220)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 17872.0.0 or later.
