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: inetpeer: randomize RB-tree node
comparison using SipHash The inetpeer rate limiting system stores peer entries in a Red-Black tree keyed
deterministically on the remote IP address. Because tree lookups walk the RB-tree using standard
lexicographical comparisons (inetpeer_addr_cmp), an off-path adversary can predict the exact topology of
the tree and the sequence of nodes traversed during lookups (the gc_stack candidate list). By combining
deterministic tree traversal with aggressive garbage collection (triggered when tree size exceeds
inet_peer_threshold), an attacker can selectively force the eviction of targeted inet_peer nodes. When an
evicted node is subsequently re-created upon receiving a new packet, its rate-limiting token bucket
(rate_tokens, rate_last) is reset to full capacity. This creates a side-channel primitive allowing off-
path attackers to bypass IP-keyed ICMP rate limits and infer open UDP ports (similar to SAD DNS style
attacks). Mitigate this by randomizing the RB-tree node comparison logic using SipHash with a secret key
(inetpeer_hash_key) initialized via net_get_random_once(). Nodes are ordered in the tree by SipHash(addr,
key) rather than raw IP addresses. Because the secret key is unknown to external entities, the tree layout
and lookup traversal paths are unpredictable to off-path adversaries, breaking the deterministic eviction
gadget. Cache the computed 64-bit SipHash (hash) in struct inet_peer and compute the target hash (dhash)
once at the beginning of inet_getpeer() to avoid recomputing SipHash at every step of the RB-tree walk.
(CVE-2026-90110)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/csql-kernel-6_6 library and its related packages to version 18867.624.2 or later.
