Chainguard: linux-qemu-melange: security update to 6.18.49-r2

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472561

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: ima: Fix stack-out-of-bounds in
is_bprm_creds_for_exec() KASAN reported a stack-out-of-bounds access in ima_appraise_measurement from
is_bprm_creds_for_exec: BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in ima_appraise_measurement+0x12dc/0x16a0 Read of
size 1 at addr ffffc9000160f940 by task sudo/550 The buggy address belongs to stack of task sudo/550 and
is located at offset 24 in frame: ima_appraise_measurement+0x0/0x16a0 This frame has 2 objects: [48, 56)
'file' [80, 148) 'hash' This is caused by using container_of on the *file pointer. This offset calculation
is what triggers the stack-out-of-bounds error. In order to fix this, pass in a bprm_is_check boolean
which can be set depending on how process_measurement is called. If the caller has a linux_binprm pointer
and the function is BPRM_CHECK we can determine is_check and set it then. Otherwise set it to false.
(CVE-2025-71306)

Update the linux-qemu-melange library and its related packages to version 6.18.49-r2 or later.
