How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 kernel-docs to version 5.14.21-150500.55.73.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-docs package and not the kernel-docs package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

phonet/pep: refuse to enable an unbound pipe

This ioctl() implicitly assumed that the socket was already bound to a valid local socket name, i.e. Phonet object. If the socket was not bound, two separate problems would occur:

  1. We'd send an pipe enablement request with an invalid source object.
  2. Later socket calls could BUG on the socket unexpectedly being connected yet not bound to a valid object.
