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: fs: relax assertions on failure to
 encode file handles Encoding file handles is usually performed by a filesystem >encode_fh() method that
 may fail for various reasons. The legacy users of exportfs_encode_fh(), namely, nfsd and
 name_to_handle_at(2) syscall are ready to cope with the possibility of failure to encode a file handle.
 There are a few other users of exportfs_encode_{fh,fid}() that currently have a WARN_ON() assertion when
 ->encode_fh() fails. Relax those assertions because they are wrong. The second linked bug report states
 commit 16aac5ad1fa9 ("ovl: support encoding non-decodable file handles") in v6.6 as the regressing commit,
 but this is not accurate. The aforementioned commit only increases the chances of the assertion and allows
 triggering the assertion with the reproducer using overlayfs, inotify and drop_caches. Triggering this
 assertion was always possible with other filesystems and other reasons of ->encode_fh() failures and more
 particularly, it was also possible with the exact same reproducer using overlayfs that is mounted with
 options index=on,nfs_export=on also on kernels < v6.6. Therefore, I am not listing the aforementioned
 commit as a Fixes commit. Backport hint: this patch will have a trivial conflict applying to v6.6.y, and
 other trivial conflicts applying to stable kernels < v6.6. (CVE-2024-57924)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/csql-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 17800.570.50 or later.
