How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 kernel-source-azure to version 6.4.0-150700.20.27.1 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:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

smack: fix bug: unprivileged task can create labels

If an unprivileged task is allowed to relabel itself (/smack/relabel-self is not empty), it can freely create new labels by writing their names into own /proc/PID/attr/smack/current

This occurs because do_setattr() imports the provided label in advance, before checking "relabel-self" list.

This change ensures that the "relabel-self" list is checked before importing the label.
