high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 451780

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: cifs: Fix buffer overflow when parsing
NFS reparse points ReparseDataLength is sum of the InodeType size and DataBuffer size. So to get
DataBuffer size it is needed to subtract InodeType's size from ReparseDataLength. Function
cifs_strndup_from_utf16() is currentlly accessing buf->DataBuffer at position after the end of the buffer
because it does not subtract InodeType size from the length. Fix this problem and correctly subtract
variable len. Member InodeType is present only when reparse buffer is large enough. Check for
ReparseDataLength before accessing InodeType to prevent another invalid memory access. Major and minor
rdev values are present also only when reparse buffer is large enough. Check for reparse buffer size
before calling reparse_mkdev(). (CVE-2024-49996)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18244.236.88 or later.
