How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.4 kernel-source to version 5.14.21-150400.24.194.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-source package and not the kernel-source package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

NFSD: Finish converting the NFSv2 GETACL result encoder

The xdr_stream conversion inadvertently left some code that set the page_len of the send buffer. The XDR stream encoders should handle this automatically now.

This oversight adds garbage past the end of the Reply message. Clients typically ignore the garbage, but NFSD does not need to send it, as it leaks stale memory contents onto the wire.
