medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 459554

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: pnfs/flexfiles: Fix memory leak in
 nfs4_ff_alloc_deviceid_node() In nfs4_ff_alloc_deviceid_node(), if the allocation for ds_versions fails,
 the function jumps to the out_scratch label without freeing the already allocated dsaddrs list, leading to
 a memory leak. Fix this by jumping to the out_err_drain_dsaddrs label, which properly frees the dsaddrs
 list before cleaning up other resources. (CVE-2026-23038)

Solution

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