Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: sched: cls_api: fix tc_chain_fill_node to initialize tcm_info to zero to prevent an info-leak When building netlink messages, tc_chain_fill_node() never initializes the tcm_info field of struct tcmsg. Since the allocation is not zeroed, kernel heap memory is leaked to userspace through this 4-byte field. The fix simply zeroes tcm_info alongside the other fields that are already initialized.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.19 < 5.10.253) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.203) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.168) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.134) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.81) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.22) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.12) • linux linux kernel 7.0
