AI-suggested

A patch is available for this vulnerability and should be applied promptly. The vendor advisory from Ubuntu confirms that the issue has been fixed in updated Linux kernel packages. Systems running affected versions should be upgraded to the fixed kernel releases to mitigate the risk. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net: hsr subsystem could cause out-of-bounds (OOB) access due to improper handling of truncated supervision frames. The issue arises from not fully linearizing the TLV header before access, potentially leading to memory corruption. This flaw has been fixed in updated Linux kernel versions. The vulnerability has a high CVSS score of 9.8, indicating critical impact if exploited, but no known exploits are reported in the wild. A patch is available and should be applied to affected systems.
