NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-4_12_14-197_40-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-4_12_14-197_40-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 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.
