CVE-2021-47548

En el kernel de Linux se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ethernet: hisilicon: hns: hns_dsaf_misc: corrige un posible desbordamiento de matriz en hns_dsaf_ge_srst_by_port() La sentencia if: if (port >= DSAF_GE_NUM) return; limita el valor del puerto a menos de DSAF_GE_NUM (es decir, 8). Sin embargo, si el valor del puerto es 6 o 7, podría producirse un desbordamiento de la matriz: port_rst_off = dsaf_dev->mac_cb[port]->port_rst_off; porque la longitud de dsaf_dev->mac_cb es DSAF_MAX_PORT_NUM (es decir, 6). Para solucionar este posible desbordamiento de la matriz, primero verificamos el puerto y si es mayor o igual a DSAF_MAX_PORT_NUM, la función regresa.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ethernet: hisilicon: hns: hns_dsaf_misc: fix a possible array overflow in hns_dsaf_ge_srst_by_port() The if statement: if (port >= DSAF_GE_NUM) return; limits the value of port less than DSAF_GE_NUM (i.e., 8). However, if the value of port is 6 or 7, an array overflow could occur: port_rst_off = dsaf_dev->mac_cb[port]->port_rst_off; because the length of dsaf_dev->mac_cb is DSAF_MAX_PORT_NUM (i.e., 6). To fix this possible array overflow, we first check port and if it is greater than or equal to DSAF_MAX_PORT_NUM, the function returns.

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 Advanced Mission Critical Update Support, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 Update Services for SAP Solutions, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 Telecommunications Update Service. Issues addressed include double free and null pointer vulnerabilities.
