NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debuginfo-common-aarch64 package and not the kernel-debuginfo-common-aarch64 package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

An integer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel. This issue leads to the kernel allocating skb_shared_info in the userspace, which is exploitable in systems without SMAP protection since skb_shared_info contains references to function pointers.
