medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 458502

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: powerpc/kexec: Enable SMT before
 waking offline CPUs If SMT is disabled or a partial SMT state is enabled, when a new kernel image is
 loaded for kexec, on reboot the following warning is observed: kexec: Waking offline cpu 228. WARNING:
 CPU: 0 PID: 9062 at arch/powerpc/kexec/core_64.c:223 kexec_prepare_cpus+0x1b0/0x1bc [snip] NIP
 kexec_prepare_cpus+0x1b0/0x1bc LR kexec_prepare_cpus+0x1a0/0x1bc Call Trace:
 kexec_prepare_cpus+0x1a0/0x1bc (unreliable) default_machine_kexec+0x160/0x19c machine_kexec+0x80/0x88
 kernel_kexec+0xd0/0x118 __do_sys_reboot+0x210/0x2c4 system_call_exception+0x124/0x320
 system_call_vectored_common+0x15c/0x2ec This occurs as add_cpu() fails due to cpu_bootable() returning
 false for CPUs that fail the cpu_smt_thread_allowed() check or non primary threads if SMT is disabled. Fix
 the issue by enabling SMT and resetting the number of SMT threads to the number of threads per core,
 before attempting to wake up all present CPUs. (CVE-2025-71119)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.162-1 or later.
