How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:10 kernel-debug-debuginfo to version 0:6.12.0-211.30.1.el10_2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debug-debuginfo package and not the kernel-debug-debuginfo package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv4: account for fraggap on the paged allocation path

In __ip_append_data(), when the paged-allocation branch is taken, alloclen and pagedlen are computed as

alloclen = fragheaderlen + transhdrlen;
pagedlen = datalen - transhdrlen;

datalen already includes fraggap, but the fraggap bytes carried over from the previous skb are copied into the new skb's linear area at offset transhdrlen by the subsequent skb_copy_and_csum_bits(). The linear area is therefore undersized by fraggap bytes while pagedlen is overstated by the same amount.

The non-paged branch sets alloclen to fraglen, which already accounts for fraggap because datalen does. Bring the paged branch in line by adding fraggap to alloclen and subtracting it from pagedlen.

After this adjustment, copy no longer collapses to -fraggap on the paged path, so remove the stale comment describing that old arithmetic.
