How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_53_90-default to version 1-150700.15.3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_53_90-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_53_90-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

nfc: st21nfca: validate ATR_REQ length against the received frame

st21nfca_tm_recv_atr_req() checks that the received ATR_REQ frame is at least ST21NFCA_ATR_REQ_MIN_SIZE and that the self-declared atr_req->length is at least sizeof(struct st21nfca_atr_req), but never checks that atr_req->length does not exceed the actual received length (skb->len).

st21nfca_tm_send_atr_res() then trusts the declared length:

gb_len = atr_req-&gt;length - sizeof(struct st21nfca_atr_req);
...
memcpy(atr_res-&gt;gbi, atr_req-&gt;gbi, gb_len);

so an RF peer that sends a short frame but sets atr_req->length larger than the frame makes gb_len exceed the general bytes actually present, and the memcpy reads out of bounds past the received skb. Those bytes are placed in the ATR_RES and sent back to the peer (kernel-memory disclosure to a proximity attacker); a larger declared length is an out-of-bounds read (DoS).

Reject frames whose declared length exceeds the received length. The adjacent nfc_tm_activated() path in the same function already derives its general-bytes length from skb->len rather than the declared field.

Found by 0sec (https://0sec.ai) using automated source analysis; the missing bound is evident from source. Compile-tested.
