How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-azure to version 6.4.0-150600.8.5.4 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-azure package and not the kernel-azure package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

net/sched: act_mirred: don't override retval if we already lost the skb

If we're redirecting the skb, and haven't called tcf_mirred_forward(), yet, we need to tell the core to drop the skb by setting the retcode to SHOT. If we have called tcf_mirred_forward(), however, the skb is out of our hands and returning SHOT will lead to UaF.

Move the retval override to the error path which actually need it.
