A flaw was found in the Open vSwitch component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability arises from an underflow condition when handling Generic Segmentation Offload (GSO) packets in userspace. A length calculation error can lead to a buffer underflow when data is processed by the skb_zerocopy() function. This issue could result in memory corruption, potentially leading to a denial of service or other unpredictable system behavior.

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258
The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
Red Hat recommends treating all kernel errata as security-relevant. Given the kernel's fundamental role, any bug has a higher chance of impacting system security, even if that impact only becomes clear after a fix is published. Therefore, Red Hat prioritizes delivering fixes that improve our customers' overall security posture.
