Upgrade Amazon-Linux:2023 kernel-tools-devel to version 1:6.1.188-233.385.amzn2023 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALAS2023-2026-3197.
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:
ipvs: fix integer overflow in ftp helper port/address parsing
ip_vs_ftp_get_addrport() accumulates decimal digits into a __u16 (hport) and into unsigned char (p[]) without checking for overflow. A crafted FTP PASV/EPSV response with an over-long port or address octet wraps the value, so the helper configures the data connection with a truncated port/address.
The netfilter conntrack FTP helper had the same defect, fixed in commit 2b413fc689ba ("netfilter: nf_conntrack_ftp: avoid u16 overflows"). Apply the equivalent fix here: widen the port accumulator to u32 and reject values above 65535, and reject address octets above 255.
