CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: kernel (CVE-2024-56648)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 232438

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-56648 advisory.

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hsr: avoid potential out-of-bound access in fill_frame_info() syzbot is able to feed a packet with 14 bytes, pretending it is a vlan one.
 Since fill_frame_info() is relying on skb->mac_len already, extend the check to cover this case. BUG:
