medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 469292

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: inotify: fix watch count leak when
 fsnotify_add_inode_mark_locked() fails When fsnotify_add_inode_mark_locked() fails in inotify_new_watch(),
 the error path calls inotify_remove_from_idr() but does not call dec_inotify_watches() to undo the
 preceding inc_inotify_watches(). This leaks a watch count, and repeated failures can exhaust the
 max_user_watches limit with -ENOSPC even when no watches are active. Prior to commit 1cce1eea0aff
 ("inotify: Convert to using per-namespace limits"), the watch count was incremented after
 fsnotify_add_mark_locked() succeeded, so this path was not affected. The conversion moved
 inc_inotify_watches() before the mark insertion without adding the corresponding rollback. Add the missing
 dec_inotify_watches() call in the error path. (CVE-2026-46040)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/cchost-kernel-6_12 library and its related packages to version 19506.224.7 or later.
