VUL-0: CVE-2023-52700: kernel: tipc: fix kernel warning when sending SYN message
Last modified: 2024-07-12 13:31:07 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tipc: fix kernel warning when sending SYN message When sending a SYN message, this kernel stack trace is observed: ... [ 13.396352] RIP: 0010:_copy_from_iter+0xb4/0x550 ...

Lacking of copy direction from the iterator viewpoint would lead to kernel stack trace like above. This commit fixes this issue by initializing the iov iterator with the correct copy direction when sending SYN or ACK without data.

OK, so after some detailed checking: SLE15-SP6 is unaffected as it has a fix (merged in 6.2) SLE15-SP5 and older are unaffected as the warning has been introduced by commit a41dad905e5a in 6.2 as well. Reassigning back to security team.
