How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 kernel-syms to version 5.3.18-150200.24.206.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-syms package and not the kernel-syms package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_queue: fix possible use-after-free

Eric Dumazet says: The sock_hold() side seems suspect, because there is no guarantee that sk_refcnt is not already 0.

On failure, we cannot queue the packet and need to indicate an error. The packet will be dropped by the caller.

v2: split skb prefetch hunk into separate change
