high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 475614

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: bpf: Don't predict JMP32 pointer vs
zero comparisons Consider the following program: r1 = map_value; /* low 32 bits are zero at runtime */ r6
= 0xdead000000000000; if w1 != 0 goto l1; l0: r1 += r6; r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0); exit; l1: r6 = 0; goto l0;
At the moment is_branch_taken() reports the jump as always taken, because it does not distinguish between
BPF_JMP and BPF_JMP32 comparisons when processing 'if w1 != 0 ...'. (CVE-2026-98041)

Solution

Update the sys-kernel/cchost-kernel-6_18 library and its related packages to version 20198.0.0 or later.
