medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462792

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: smack: fix bug: unprivileged task can
 create labels If an unprivileged task is allowed to relabel itself (/smack/relabel-self is not empty), it
 can freely create new labels by writing their names into own /proc/PID/attr/smack/current This occurs
 because do_setattr() imports the provided label in advance, before checking "relabel-self" list. This
 change ensures that the "relabel-self" list is checked before importing the label. (CVE-2025-68733)

Solution

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