Upgrade Centos:8 kernel-zfcpdump-core to version 0:4.18.0-553.16.1.el8_10 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-zfcpdump-core package and not the kernel-zfcpdump-core package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: n_gsm: fix possible out-of-bounds in gsm0_receive()
Assuming the following:
- side A configures the n_gsm in basic option mode
- side B sends the header of a basic option mode frame with data length 1
- side A switches to advanced option mode
- side B sends 2 data bytes which exceeds gsm->len Reason: gsm->len is not used in advanced option mode.
- side A switches to basic option mode
- side B keeps sending until gsm0_receive() writes past gsm->buf Reason: Neither gsm->state nor gsm->len have been reset after reconfiguration.
Fix this by changing gsm->count to gsm->len comparison from equal to less than. Also add upper limit checks against the constant MAX_MRU in gsm0_receive() and gsm1_receive() to harden against memory corruption of gsm->len and gsm->mru.
All other checks remain as we still need to limit the data according to the user configuration and actual payload size.
