medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 461772

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: crypto: authencesn - reject too-short
 AAD (assoclen<8) to match ESP/ESN spec authencesn assumes an ESP/ESN-formatted AAD. When assoclen is
 shorter than the minimum expected length, crypto_authenc_esn_decrypt() can advance past the end of the
 destination scatterlist and trigger a NULL pointer dereference in scatterwalk_map_and_copy(), leading to a
 kernel panic (DoS). Add a minimum AAD length check to fail fast on invalid inputs. (CVE-2026-23060)

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