NVD Description

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

netconsole: avoid OOB reads, msg is not nul-terminated

msg passed to netconsole from the console subsystem is not guaranteed to be nul-terminated. Before recent commit 7eab73b18630 ("netconsole: convert to NBCON console infrastructure") the message would be placed in printk_shared_pbufs, a static global buffer, so KASAN had harder time catching OOB accesses. Now we see:

printk: console [netcon_ext0] enabled
