How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:10 kernel-modules-extra-matched.

NVD Description

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

crypto: asymmetric_keys - fix OOB read in pefile_digest_pe_contents

pefile_digest_pe_contents() computes the trailing-data hash length as pelen - (hashed_bytes + certs_size). A crafted PE can make the addition exceed pelen, causing the unsigned subtraction to underflow to ~4 GiB. This is passed to crypto_shash_update() which reads out of bounds and panics on unmapped vmalloc guard pages.

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc900038d8000 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI RIP: 0010:sha256_blocks_generic (lib/crypto/sha256.c:152) Call Trace: <TASK> __sha256_update (lib/crypto/sha256.c:208) crypto_sha256_update (crypto/sha256.c:142) verify_pefile_signature (crypto/asymmetric_keys/verify_pefile.c:436) kexec_kernel_verify_pe_sig (kernel/kexec_file.c:151) __do_sys_kexec_file_load (kernel/kexec_file.c:406) do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121) </TASK> Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

Validate that the addition does not overflow and the result does not exceed pelen before the subtraction. Return -ELIBBAD on failure.
