medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 457176

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: can: netlink: can_changelink(): fix
 NULL pointer deref of struct can_priv::do_set_mode Andrei Lalaev reported a NULL pointer deref when a CAN
 device is restarted from Bus Off and the driver does not implement the struct can_priv::do_set_mode
 callback. There are 2 code path that call struct can_priv::do_set_mode: - directly by a manual restart
 from the user space, via can_changelink() - delayed automatic restart after bus off (deactivated by
 default) To prevent the NULL pointer deference, refuse a manual restart or configure the automatic restart
 delay in can_changelink() and report the error via extack to user space. As an additional safety measure
 let can_restart() return an error if can_priv::do_set_mode is not set instead of dereferencing it
 unchecked. (CVE-2025-38665)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.148-1 or later.
