CVE-2021-47548 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:8 kernel-doc to version 0:4.18.0-477.64.1.el8_8 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2024:4740.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-doc package and not the kernel-doc package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ethernet: hisilicon: hns: hns_dsaf_misc: fix a possible array overflow in hns_dsaf_ge_srst_by_port()
The if statement: if (port >= DSAF_GE_NUM) return;
limits the value of port less than DSAF_GE_NUM (i.e., 8). However, if the value of port is 6 or 7, an array overflow could occur: port_rst_off = dsaf_dev->mac_cb[port]->port_rst_off;
because the length of dsaf_dev->mac_cb is DSAF_MAX_PORT_NUM (i.e., 6).
To fix this possible array overflow, we first check port and if it is greater than or equal to DSAF_MAX_PORT_NUM, the function returns.
