NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150600_23_38-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150600_23_38-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:

netfilter: ipset: Hold module reference while requesting a module

User space may unload ip_set.ko while it is itself requesting a set type backend module, leading to a kernel crash. The race condition may be provoked by inserting an mdelay() right after the nfnl_unlock() call.
