How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:16.0.0 kernel-obs-qa to version 6.12.0-160000.38.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-obs-qa package and not the kernel-obs-qa package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

netfilter: xt_connmark: reject invalid shift parameters

Revision 2 of the CONNMARK target accepts user-controlled shift parameters and applies them to 32-bit mark values in connmark_tg_shift().

A shift_bits value of 32 or more triggers an undefined-shift bug when the rule is evaluated. Invalid shift_dir values are also accepted and silently fall back to the left-shift path.

Reject invalid revision-2 shift parameters in connmark_tg_check() so malformed rules fail at installation time, before they can reach the packet path.
