high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 469207

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: ethtool: eeprom: add more safeties to
EEPROM Netlink fallback The Netlink fallback path for reading module EEPROM (fallback_set_params())
validates that offset < eeprom_len, but does not check that offset + length stays within eeprom_len. The
ioctl equivalent (ethtool_get_any_eeprom() in ioctl.c) has always enforced both bounds: if (eeprom.offset
+ eeprom.len > total_len) return -EINVAL; This could lead to surprises in both drivers and device FW. Add
the missing offset + length validation to fallback_set_params(), mirroring the ioctl. Similarly - ethtool
core in general, and ethtool_get_any_eeprom() in particular tries to zero-init all buffers passed to the
drivers to avoid any extra work of zeroing things out. eeprom_fallback() uses a plain kmalloc(), change it
to zalloc. (CVE-2026-63985)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/cchost-kernel-6_12 library and its related packages to version 19506.299.3 or later.
