CVE-2021-47291 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:7 python-perf.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-perf package and not the python-perf package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fix another slab-out-of-bounds in fib6_nh_flush_exceptions
While running the self-tests on a KASAN enabled kernel, I observed a slab-out-of-bounds splat very similar to the one reported in commit 821bbf79fe46 ("ipv6: Fix KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds Read in fib6_nh_flush_exceptions").
We additionally need to take care of fib6_metrics initialization failure when the caller provides an nh.
The fix is similar, explicitly free the route instead of calling fib6_info_release on a half-initialized object.
