Google: sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1, sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_6: security update to 18613.75.4

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 471325

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: ext4: drop ppath from
 ext4_ext_replay_update_ex() to avoid double-free When calling ext4_force_split_extent_at() in
 ext4_ext_replay_update_ex(), the 'ppath' is updated but it is the 'path' that is freed, thus potentially
 triggering a double-free in the following process: ext4_ext_replay_update_ex ppath = path
 ext4_force_split_extent_at(&ppath) ext4_split_extent_at ext4_ext_insert_extent ext4_ext_create_new_leaf
 ext4_ext_grow_indepth ext4_find_extent if (depth > path[0].p_maxdepth) kfree(path) ---> path First freed
 *orig_path = path = NULL ---> null ppath kfree(path) ---> path double-free !!! So drop the unnecessary
 ppath and use path directly to avoid this problem. And use ext4_find_extent() directly to update path,
 avoiding unnecessary memory allocation and freeing. Also, propagate the error returned by
 ext4_find_extent() instead of using strange error codes. (CVE-2024-49983)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18613.75.4 or later.
