Google: sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-5_10: security update to 17033.0.0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 452140

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: net/mlx4_en: Fix an use-after-free bug
in mlx4_en_try_alloc_resources() In mlx4_en_try_alloc_resources(), mlx4_en_copy_priv() is called and
tmp->tx_cq will be freed on the error path of mlx4_en_copy_priv(). After that mlx4_en_alloc_resources() is
called and there is a dereference of &tmp->tx_cq[t][i] in mlx4_en_alloc_resources(), which could lead to a
use after free problem on failure of mlx4_en_copy_priv(). Fix this bug by adding a check of
mlx4_en_copy_priv() This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs differential checking to
identify inconsistent security operations (e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms
that the inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or the callers, so they
constitute bugs. Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false positive or hard to
trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed the bug. Builds with CONFIG_MLX4_EN=m show no new
warnings, and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code. (CVE-2021-47541)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-5_10 library and its related packages to version 17033.0.0 or later.
