high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 475792

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: Check ancestor frames for rbtree
callbacks bpf_rbtree_add() invokes its comparator while the caller holds the root lock. The native
insertion code retains raw parent and link pointers across the callback, so the verifier prohibits
unlocking, consuming tree nodes, or changing RCU state from that callback. in_rbtree_lock_required_cb()
only checks the innermost verifier frame. Static subprogram calls are permitted while holding a spin lock,
and such a call pushes a frame without in_callback_fn set. Consequently, all callback restrictions
disappear in the nested frame. The subprogram can unlock the tree, remove and drop the node being
compared, then relock. Native insertion resumes with the stale parent pointer and links freed memory into
the tree. Walk all active frames for the rbtree callback instead. Benign static subprograms remain
permitted, while callback restrictions follow execution into nested frames. (CVE-2026-98047)

Solution

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