Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 6.9.0-rc2-next-20240403-syzkaller

Description The vulnerability is related to the netfilter component in the Linux kernel, which fails to validate user input for the expected length, leading to a slab-out-of-bounds error. This can be exploited by an attacker to cause a denial of service. The issue is exposed by BPF after a specific commit. The setsockopt() function's @optlen argument should be taken into account before copying data to prevent this error.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
