NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf-debuginfo package and not the perf-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:

bpf: sockmap: fix tail fragment offset in bpf_msg_push_data

When bpf_msg_push_data() inserts data in the middle of a scatterlist entry, it splits the original entry into a left fragment and a right fragment.

The right fragment offset is page-local, but the code advances it with start, which is the message-global insertion point. For inserts into a non-first SG entry, this over-advances the offset and leaves the split layout inconsistent.

Advance the right fragment offset by the fragment-local delta, start - offset, which matches the length removed from the front of the original entry.
