medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472926

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: net/mlx5: fw_tracer, Validate format
string parameters Add validation for format string parameters in the firmware tracer to prevent potential
security vulnerabilities and crashes from malformed format strings received from firmware. The firmware
tracer receives format strings from the device firmware and uses them to format trace messages. Without
proper validation, bad firmware could provide format strings with invalid format specifiers (e.g., %s, %p,
%n) that could lead to crashes, or other undefined behavior. Add mlx5_tracer_validate_params() to validate
that all format specifiers in trace strings are limited to safe integer/hex formats (%x, %d, %i, %u, %llx,
%lx, etc.). Reject strings containing other format types that could be used to access arbitrary memory or
cause crashes. Invalid format strings are added to the trace output for visibility with "BAD_FORMAT: "
prefix. (CVE-2025-68816)

Solution

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