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

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472394

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: serial: protect uart_port_dtr_rts() in
uart_shutdown() too Commit af224ca2df29 (serial: core: Prevent unsafe uart port access, part 3) added few
uport == NULL checks. It added one to uart_shutdown(), so the commit assumes, uport can be NULL in there.
But right after that protection, there is an unprotected "uart_port_dtr_rts(uport, false);" call. That is
invoked only if HUPCL is set, so I assume that is the reason why we do not see lots of these reports. Or
it cannot be NULL at this point at all for some reason :P. Until the above is investigated, stay on the
safe side and move this dereference to the if too. I got this inconsistency from Coverity under CID
1585130. Thanks. (CVE-2024-50058)

Solution

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