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: Revert "net/smc: Introduce TCP ULP
support" This reverts commit d7cd421da9da2cc7b4d25b8537f66db5c8331c40. As reported by Al Viro, the TCP ULP
support for SMC is fundamentally broken. The implementation attempts to convert an active TCP socket into
an SMC socket by modifying the underlying `struct file`, dentry, and inode in-place, which violates core
VFS invariants that assume these structures are immutable for an open file, creating a risk of use after
free errors and general system instability. Given the severity of this design flaw and the fact that
cleaner alternatives (e.g., LD_PRELOAD, BPF) exist for legacy application transparency, the correct course
of action is to remove this feature entirely. (CVE-2026-46330)
Solution
Update the linux-gcp-6.18-bootc library and its related packages to version 6.18.38-r2 or later.
