How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-default to version 6.4.0-150600.23.30.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-default package and not the kernel-default 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:

usbnet: ipheth: do not stop RX on failing RX callback

RX callbacks can fail for multiple reasons:

  • Payload too short
  • Payload formatted incorrecly (e.g. bad NCM framing)
  • Lack of memory

None of these should cause the driver to seize up.

Make such failures non-critical and continue processing further incoming URBs.
