CWE-787  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 kernel-default-man to version 4.12.14-150.52.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-default-man package and not the kernel-default-man package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel before 5.5.8, get_raw_socket in drivers/vhost/net.c lacks validation of an sk_family field, which might allow attackers to trigger kernel stack corruption via crafted system calls.
