How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-source-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-source-azure package and not the kernel-source-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:

afs: Increase buffer size in afs_update_volume_status()

The max length of volume->vid value is 20 characters. So increase idbuf[] size up to 24 to avoid overflow.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

[DH: Actually, it's 20 + NUL, so increase it to 24 and use snprintf()]
