medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462107

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: scsi: sd: fix missing put_disk() when
 device_add(&disk_dev) fails If device_add(&sdkp->disk_dev) fails, put_device() runs scsi_disk_release(),
 which frees the scsi_disk but leaves the gendisk referenced. The device_add_disk() error path in
 sd_probe() calls put_disk(gd); call put_disk(gd) here to mirror that cleanup. (CVE-2026-45997)

Solution

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