medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472426

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: crypto: af_alg - zero initialize
memory allocated via sock_kmalloc Several crypto user API contexts and requests allocated with
sock_kmalloc() were left uninitialized, relying on callers to set fields explicitly. This resulted in the
use of uninitialized data in certain error paths or when new fields are added in the future. The ACVP
patches also contain two user-space interface files: algif_kpp.c and algif_akcipher.c. These too rely on
proper initialization of their context structures. A particular issue has been observed with the newly
added 'inflight' variable introduced in af_alg_ctx by commit: 67b164a871af ("crypto: af_alg - Disallow
multiple in-flight AIO requests") Because the context is not memset to zero after allocation, the inflight
variable has contained garbage values. As a result, af_alg_alloc_areq() has incorrectly returned -EBUSY
randomly when the garbage value was interpreted as true:
https://github.com/gregkh/linux/blame/master/crypto/af_alg.c#L1209 The check directly tests ctx->inflight
without explicitly comparing against true/false. Since inflight is only ever set to true or false later,
an uninitialized value has triggered -EBUSY failures. Zero-initializing memory allocated with
sock_kmalloc() ensures inflight and other fields start in a known state, removing random issues caused by
uninitialized data. (CVE-2025-71113)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/csql-kernel-6_12 library and its related packages to version 19216.104.113 or later.
