Google: sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1, sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_6: security update to 18613.75.89

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 471698

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: mm: fix NULL pointer dereference in
 alloc_pages_bulk_noprof We triggered a NULL pointer dereference for ac.preferred_zoneref->zone in
 alloc_pages_bulk_noprof() when the task is migrated between cpusets. When cpuset is enabled, in
 prepare_alloc_pages(), ac->nodemask may be &current->mems_allowed. when first_zones_zonelist() is called
 to find preferred_zoneref, the ac->nodemask may be modified concurrently if the task is migrated between
 different cpusets. Assuming we have 2 NUMA Node, when traversing Node1 in ac->zonelist, the nodemask is 2,
 and when traversing Node2 in ac->zonelist, the nodemask is 1. As a result, the ac->preferred_zoneref
 points to NULL zone. In alloc_pages_bulk_noprof(), for_each_zone_zonelist_nodemask() finds a allowable
 zone and calls zonelist_node_idx(ac.preferred_zoneref), leading to NULL pointer dereference.
 __alloc_pages_noprof() fixes this issue by checking NULL pointer in commit ea57485af8f4 ("mm, page_alloc:
 fix check for NULL preferred_zone") and commit df76cee6bbeb ("mm, page_alloc: remove redundant checks from
 alloc fastpath"). To fix it, check NULL pointer for preferred_zoneref->zone. (CVE-2024-53113)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/lakitu-kernel-6_1 library and its related packages to version 18613.75.89 or later.
