high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462078

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: ipv4: icmp: validate reply type before
 using icmp_pointers Extended echo replies use ICMP_EXT_ECHOREPLY as the outbound reply type. That value is
 outside the range covered by icmp_pointers[], which only describes the traditional ICMP types up to
 NR_ICMP_TYPES. Avoid consulting icmp_pointers[] for reply types outside that range, and use
 array_index_nospec() for the remaining in-range lookup. Normal ICMP replies keep their existing behavior
 unchanged. (CVE-2026-46037)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.176-1 or later.
