Upgrade RHEL:8 kernel-modules to version 0:4.18.0-477.74.1.el8_8 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2024:6993.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-modules package and not the kernel-modules 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:
net: sched: sch_multiq: fix possible OOB write in multiq_tune()
q->bands will be assigned to qopt->bands to execute subsequent code logic after kmalloc. So the old q->bands should not be used in kmalloc. Otherwise, an out-of-bounds write will occur.
