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: iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Free the error
IRQ before tearing down VINTFs tegra241_cmdqv_remove() tears each VINTF down first, then calls free_irq().
Tearing a VINTF down frees vintf0 and clears cmdqv->vintfs[0]. An error in that window makes
tegra241_cmdqv_isr() read the stale slot and hand it to tegra241_vintf0_handle_error(), which dereferences
a NULL or freed pointer. Free the IRQ before tearing the VINTFs down. free_irq() waits for in-flight
handlers to finish and blocks new ones, so no ISR can observe a VINTF as it is torn down. Note: a user-
owned VINTF (viommu) could outlive this teardown, which unmaps cmdqv->base and frees cmdqv->vintfs, so a
later viommu close then touches freed memory. This is neither introduced nor fixed here: a physical IOMMU
is not a pluggable device, so iommufd by design holds no reference on the one behind a viommu, and this
teardown is not expected while that viommu is still alive. (CVE-2026-90426)

Solution

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