Google: sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1: security update to 18244.151.33

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 451902

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: netem: fix return value if duplicate
enqueue fails There is a bug in netem_enqueue() introduced by commit 5845f706388a ("net: netem: fix skb
length BUG_ON in __skb_to_sgvec") that can lead to a use-after-free. This commit made netem_enqueue()
always return NET_XMIT_SUCCESS when a packet is duplicated, which can cause the parent qdisc's q.qlen to
be mistakenly incremented. When this happens qlen_notify() may be skipped on the parent during
destruction, leaving a dangling pointer for some classful qdiscs like DRR. There are two ways for the bug
happen: - If the duplicated packet is dropped by rootq->enqueue() and then the original packet is also
dropped. - If rootq->enqueue() sends the duplicated packet to a different qdisc and the original packet is
dropped. In both cases NET_XMIT_SUCCESS is returned even though no packets are enqueued at the netem
qdisc. The fix is to defer the enqueue of the duplicate packet until after the original packet has been
guaranteed to return NET_XMIT_SUCCESS. (CVE-2024-45016)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18244.151.33 or later.
