Amendment

The SLES security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for SLES:15.3.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gfs2-kmp-rt package and not the gfs2-kmp-rt package as distributed by SLES.

In drivers/char/virtio_console.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4, data corruption or loss can be triggered by an untrusted device that supplies a buf->len value exceeding the buffer size. NOTE: the vendor indicates that the cited data corruption is not a vulnerability in any existing use case; the length validation was added solely for robustness in the face of anomalous host OS behavior
