Upgrade AlmaLinux:9 kernel-devel-matched to version 0:5.14.0-427.37.1.el9_4 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALSA-2024:6997.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-devel-matched package and not the kernel-devel-matched package as distributed by AlmaLinux.
See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_mirred: don't override retval if we already lost the skb
If we're redirecting the skb, and haven't called tcf_mirred_forward(), yet, we need to tell the core to drop the skb by setting the retcode to SHOT. If we have called tcf_mirred_forward(), however, the skb is out of our hands and returning SHOT will lead to UaF.
Move the retval override to the error path which actually need it.
