Resolved Date: May 22, 2024
Found In Version: 10.21.20.1
Fix Version: 10.21.20.21
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 21
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: dsa: fix a crash if ->get_sset_count() fails

If ds->ops->get_sset_count() fails then it "count" is a negative error
code such as -EOPNOTSUPP.  Because "i" is an unsigned int, the negative
error code is type promoted to a very high value and the loop will
corrupt memory until the system crashes.

Fix this by checking for error codes and changing the type of "i" to
just int.
