NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-modules-extra-common package and not the kernel-modules-extra-common 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:

tun: limit printing rate when illegal packet received by tun dev

vhost_worker will call tun call backs to receive packets. If too many illegal packets arrives, tun_do_read will keep dumping packet contents. When console is enabled, it will costs much more cpu time to dump packet and soft lockup will be detected.

net_ratelimit mechanism can be used to limit the dumping rate.
