Google: sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1: security update to 18244.151.9

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 451605

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: bpf: Avoid splat in pskb_pull_reason
 syzkaller builds (CONFIG_DEBUG_NET=y) frequently trigger a debug hint in pskb_may_pull. We'd like to
 retain this debug check because it might hint at integer overflows and other issues (kernel code should
 pull headers, not huge value). In bpf case, this splat isn't interesting at all: such (nonsensical) bpf
 programs are typically generated by a fuzzer anyway. Do what Eric suggested and suppress such warning. For
 CONFIG_DEBUG_NET=n we don't need the extra check because pskb_may_pull will do the right thing: return an
 error without the WARN() backtrace. (CVE-2024-40996)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18244.151.9 or later.
