Google: sys-kernel/csql-kernel-6_1, sys-kernel/csql-kernel-6_6: security update to 18555.0.0

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 471317

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: tty: add the option to have a tty
reject a new ldisc ... and use it to limit the virtual terminals to just N_TTY. They are kind of special,
and in particular, the "con_write()" routine violates the "writes cannot sleep" rule that some ldiscs rely
on. This avoids the BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/printk/printk.c:2659 when
N_GSM has been attached to a virtual console, and gsmld_write() calls con_write() while holding a
spinlock, and con_write() then tries to get the console lock. (CVE-2024-40966)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/csql-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18555.0.0 or later.
