There is no fixed version for Centos:6 kernel-debug .

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debug package and not the kernel-debug package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

tcp: Fix shift-out-of-bounds in dctcp_update_alpha().

In dctcp_update_alpha(), we use a module parameter dctcp_shift_g as follows:

alpha -= min_not_zero(alpha, alpha >> dctcp_shift_g); ... delivered_ce <<= (10 - dctcp_shift_g);

It seems syzkaller started fuzzing module parameters and triggered shift-out-of-bounds [0] by setting 100 to dctcp_shift_g:

memcpy((void*)0x20000080, "/sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g\000", 47); res = syscall(__NR_openat, /fd=/0xffffffffffffff9cul, /file=/0x20000080ul, /flags=/2ul, /mode=/0ul); memcpy((void*)0x20000000, "100\000", 4); syscall(__NR_write, /fd=/r[0], /val=/0x20000000ul, /len=/4ul);

Let's limit the max value of dctcp_shift_g by param_set_uint_minmax().

With this patch:

echo 10 > /sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g

cat /sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g

echo 11 > /sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g

-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
