medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472344

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: net/mlx5: Fix error path in multi-
packet WQE transmit Remove the erroneous unmap in case no DMA mapping was established The multi-packet WQE
transmit code attempts to obtain a DMA mapping for the skb. This could fail, e.g. under memory pressure,
when the IOMMU driver just can't allocate more memory for page tables. While the code tries to handle this
in the path below the err_unmap label it erroneously unmaps one entry from the sq's FIFO list of active
mappings. Since the current map attempt failed this unmap is removing some random DMA mapping that might
still be required. If the PCI function now presents that IOVA, the IOMMU may assumes a rogue DMA access
and e.g. on s390 puts the PCI function in error state. The erroneous behavior was seen in a stress-test
environment that created memory pressure. (CVE-2024-50001)

Solution

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