medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 471998

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: gve: prevent ethtool ops after
 shutdown A crash can occur if an ethtool operation is invoked after shutdown() is called. shutdown() is
 invoked during system shutdown to stop DMA operations without performing expensive deallocations. It is
 discouraged to unregister the netdev in this path, so the device may still be visible to userspace and
 kernel helpers. In gve, shutdown() tears down most internal data structures. If an ethtool operation is
 dispatched after shutdown(), it will dereference freed or NULL pointers, leading to a kernel panic. While
 graceful shutdown normally quiesces userspace before invoking the reboot syscall, forced shutdowns (as
 observed on GCP VMs) can still trigger this path. Fix by calling netif_device_detach() in shutdown(). This
 marks the device as detached so the ethtool ioctl handler will skip dispatching operations to the driver.
 (CVE-2025-38735)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/csql-kernel-6_12 library and its related packages to version 19216.0.53 or later.
