medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 465634

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: iio: chemical: scd30: Cleanup
initializations and fix sign-extension bug Include linux/bitfield.h for FIELD_GET(). Create new macros for
bit manipulation in combination with manual bit manipulation being replaced with FIELD_GET(). The current
variable declaration and initializations are barely readable and use comma separations across multiple
lines. Refactor the initializations so that mantissa and exp have separate declarations and sign gets
initialized later. In addition (and due to the nature of the cleanup), fix a sign-extension bug where,
float32 would get bitwise anded with ~BIT(31) (which is 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFFFFF) which corrupted the exponent.
(CVE-2026-64497)

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.180-1 or later.
