high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472048

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: NFSv4/pNFS: reject zero-length r_addr
in nfs4_decode_mp_ds_addr nfs4_decode_mp_ds_addr() decodes the r_netid and r_addr opaques of a netaddr4
from a GETDEVICEINFO multipath-DS body, then immediately calls strrchr(buf, '.') to locate the port
separator. Both decodes use xdr_stream_decode_string_dup(), and the current code checks only "nlen < 0" /
"rlen < 0" before dereferencing the returned string. When the on-wire opaque has length zero,
xdr_stream_decode_opaque_inline() returns 0 and xdr_stream_decode_string_dup() falls through to its "*str
= NULL; return ret" tail, leaving buf NULL with a return value of 0. The "< 0" check does not catch this,
and the next line is strrchr(NULL, '.'), a kernel NULL pointer dereference reachable from any pNFS-
flexfile client mounted against a malicious or compromised metadata server. Reject the zero-length cases
explicitly so the decoder fails with -EBADMSG (treated as a malformed GETDEVICEINFO body) instead of
panicking the client. (CVE-2026-53391)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/cchost-kernel-6_12 library and its related packages to version 19506.299.60 or later.
