There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 kernel-zfcpdump-devel.

NVD Description

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

gpio: prevent potential speculation leaks in gpio_device_get_desc()

Userspace may trigger a speculative read of an address outside the gpio descriptor array. Users can do that by calling gpio_ioctl() with an offset out of range. Offset is copied from user and then used as an array index to get the gpio descriptor without sanitization in gpio_device_get_desc().

This change ensures that the offset is sanitized by using array_index_nospec() to mitigate any possibility of speculative information leaks.

This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc.
