How to fix?

Upgrade Amazon-Linux:2023 kernel-debuginfo to version 1:6.1.168-202.320.amzn2023 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALAS2023-2026-1681.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debuginfo package and not the kernel-debuginfo package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: sched: cls_api: fix tc_chain_fill_node to initialize tcm_info to zero to prevent an info-leak

When building netlink messages, tc_chain_fill_node() never initializes the tcm_info field of struct tcmsg. Since the allocation is not zeroed, kernel heap memory is leaked to userspace through this 4-byte field.

The fix simply zeroes tcm_info alongside the other fields that are already initialized.
