Google: sys-kernel/cchost-kernel-6_12, sys-kernel/csql-kernel-6_12: security update to 19216.220.174

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472643

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: netfs: Fix kernel BUG in
netfs_limit_iter() for ITER_KVEC iterators When a process crashes and the kernel writes a core dump to a
9P filesystem, __kernel_write() creates an ITER_KVEC iterator. This iterator reaches netfs_limit_iter()
via netfs_unbuffered_write(), which only handles ITER_FOLIOQ, ITER_BVEC and ITER_XARRAY iterator types,
hitting the BUG() for any other type. Fix this by adding netfs_limit_kvec() following the same pattern as
netfs_limit_bvec(), since both kvec and bvec are simple segment arrays with pointer and length fields.
Dispatch it from netfs_limit_iter() when the iterator type is ITER_KVEC. (CVE-2026-31438)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/cchost-kernel-6_12 library and its related packages to version 19216.220.174 or later.
