NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-5_3_18-150300_59_90-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-5_3_18-150300_59_90-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s networking code. A use-after-free was found in the way the sch_sfb enqueue function used the socket buffer (SKB) cb field after the same SKB had been enqueued (and freed) into a child qdisc. This flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to crash the system, causing a denial of service.
