medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 465918

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: IB/core: Implement a limit on UMAD
receive List The existing behavior of ib_umad, which maintains received MAD packets in an unbounded list,
poses a risk of uncontrolled growth. As user-space applications extract packets from this list, the rate
of extraction may not match the rate of incoming packets, leading to potential list overflow. To address
this, we introduce a limit to the size of the list. After considering typical scenarios, such as OpenSM
processing, which can handle approximately 100k packets per second, and the 1-second retry timeout for
most packets, we set the list size limit to 200k. Packets received beyond this limit are dropped, assuming
they are likely timed out by the time they are handled by user-space. Notably, packets queued on the
receive list due to reasons like timed-out sends are preserved even when the list is full.
(CVE-2024-42145)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18567.0.0 or later.
