high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 460025

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: erofs: fix the out-of-bounds nameoff
 handling for trailing dirents Currently we already have boundary-checks for nameoffs, but the trailing
 dirents are special since the namelens are calculated with strnlen() with unchecked nameoffs. If a crafted
 EROFS has a trailing dirent with nameoff >= maxsize, maxsize - nameoff can underflow, causing strnlen() to
 read past the directory block. nameoff0 should also be verified to be a multiple of `sizeof(struct
 erofs_dirent)` as well [1]. [1]
