How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-syms-azure to version 6.4.0-150600.8.8.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

llc: make llc_ui_sendmsg() more robust against bonding changes

syzbot was able to trick llc_ui_sendmsg(), allocating an skb with no headroom, but subsequently trying to push 14 bytes of Ethernet header [1]

Like some others, llc_ui_sendmsg() releases the socket lock before calling sock_alloc_send_skb(). Then it acquires it again, but does not redo all the sanity checks that were performed.

This fix:

  • Uses LL_RESERVED_SPACE() to reserve space.
  • Check all conditions again after socket lock is held again.
  • Do not account Ethernet header for mtu limitation.
