{"id":"CVE-2024-35893","summary":"net/sched: act_skbmod: prevent kernel-infoleak","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/sched: act_skbmod: prevent kernel-infoleak\n\nsyzbot found that tcf_skbmod_dump() was copying four bytes\nfrom kernel stack to user space [1].\n\nThe issue here is that 'struct tc_skbmod' has a four bytes hole.\n\nWe need to clear the structure before filling fields.\n\n[1]\nBUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in instrument_copy_to_user include/linux/instrumented.h:114 [inline]\n BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in copy_to_user_iter
