Summary

In the Linux kernel, the psample module's open-coded nla_put() for PSAMPLE_ATTR_DATA misses clearing the pad, potentially leaking information via unzeroed padding bytes in the Netlink message.

Risk Assessment

The organization may be exposed to sensitive kernel memory leaks through the PSAMPLE_ATTR_DATA attribute, potentially disclosing confidential information.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that adds padding clearing in psample to prevent information leaks.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: psample: fix info leak in PSAMPLE_ATTR_DATA psample open codes nla_put() presumably to avoid wiping the data with 0s just to override it with packet data. This open coding is missing clearing the pad, however, each netlink attr is padded to 4B and data_len may not be divisible by 4B.
