high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 475668

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: configfs: pin the symlink target's
 dirent instead of chasing ->ci_dentry create_link() reads the target's configfs_dirent from
 item->ci_dentry->d_fsdata, relying on the item reference taken by get_target(). That reference pins the
 item, not its dentry: the dentry is pinned by DCACHE_PERSISTENT, which configfs_remove_dir() releases via
 simple_rmdir() while the item is still alive. A symlink racing with rmdir of its target can therefore find
 ->ci_dentry freed and its dirent released, triggering WARN_ON(!atomic_read(&sd->s_count)) in
 configfs_get(). Take the dirent in get_target() as well, under ->d_lock and atomically with the item
 reference, and pass it down to create_link(). A hashed dentry has not been killed yet, so its ->d_fsdata
 reference keeps the dirent alive there. (CVE-2026-97950)

Solution

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