NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-tools-devel package and not the kernel-tools-devel 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:
RDMA/nldev: validate dynamic counter attribute length
RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_STAT_HWCOUNTERS is a nested attribute whose children are consumed directly with nla_get_u32(). The top-level policy validates only the container, so it does not establish the fixed shape of each child.
Require every child payload to be exactly one u32 before reading it.
