Echo: linux: security update to 6.10.11-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462084

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: wifi: rtw88: usb: schedule rx work
 after everything is set up Right now it's possible to hit NULL pointer dereference in
 rtw_rx_fill_rx_status on hw object and/or its fields because initialization routine can start getting USB
 replies before rtw_dev is fully setup. The stack trace looks like this: rtw_rx_fill_rx_status
 rtw8821c_query_rx_desc rtw_usb_rx_handler ... queue_work rtw_usb_read_port_complete ... usb_submit_urb
 rtw_usb_rx_resubmit rtw_usb_init_rx rtw_usb_probe So while we do the async stuff rtw_usb_probe continues
 and calls rtw_register_hw, which does all kinds of initialization (e.g. via ieee80211_register_hw) that
 rtw_rx_fill_rx_status relies on. Fix this by moving the first usb_submit_urb after everything is set up.
 For me, this bug manifested as: [ 8.893177] rtw_8821cu 1-1:1.2: band wrong, packet dropped [ 8.910904]
 rtw_8821cu 1-1:1.2: hw->conf.chandef.chan NULL in rtw_rx_fill_rx_status because I'm using Larry's backport
 of rtw88 driver with the NULL checks in rtw_rx_fill_rx_status. (CVE-2024-46760)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.10.11-1 or later.
