How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 kernel-rt-core.

NVD Description

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

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

dm-ioctl: fix a possible overflow in list_version_get_info

sizeof(tt->version) is 12 bytes, but the code writes 16 bytes into the output buffer - info->vers->version[0], info->vers->version[1], info->vers->version[2] and info->vers->next. This can cause buffer overflow.

Fix this buffer overflow by replacing "sizeof(tt->version)" with "sizeof(struct dm_target_versions)".
