In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vxlan: vnifilter: enforce exact length of GROUP/GROUP6 attributes The VXLAN VNI filter entry policy declares the GROUP/GROUP6 address attributes as NLA_BINARY with only a maximum length, so validate_nla() accepts a payload shorter than the address. The GROUP consumer reads it with nla_get_in_addr(), an unconditional 4-byte load, so a short attribute over-reads up to 3 bytes of uninitialised slab data, which are stored into remote_ip and echoed back via RTM_GETTUNNEL, disclosing kernel memory. Switch both entries to NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN() so the validator rejects any GROUP/GROUP6 that is not exactly 4 / 16 bytes; a valid address is always sent at full width.
Fix
Nothing published yet: no patch, vendor advisory or mitigation reference on NVD, no vendor advisory in the News for this CVE, not in CISA's KEV, no fixed package version. BaselineWatch does not guess at one.
