"The version of kernel installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-50045 advisory.
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: br_netfilter: fix panic
with metadata_dst skb Fix a kernel panic in the br_netfilter module when sending untagged traffic via a
VxLAN device. This happens during the check for fragmentation in br_nf_dev_queue_xmit. It is dependent on:
1) the br_netfilter module being loaded; 2) net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables set to 1; 3) a bridge with
a VxLAN (single-vxlan-device) netdevice as a bridge port; 4) untagged frames with size higher than the
VxLAN MTU forwarded/flooded When forwarding the untagged packet to the VxLAN bridge port, before the
netfilter hooks are called, br_handle_egress_vlan_tunnel is called and changes the skb_dst to the tunnel
dst. The tunnel_dst is a metadata type of dst, i.e., skb_valid_dst(skb) is false, and metadata->dst.dev is
NULL. Then in the br_netfilter hooks, in br_nf_dev_queue_xmit, there's a check for frames that needs to be
fragmented: frames with higher MTU than the VxLAN device end up calling br_nf_ip_fragment, which in turns
call ip_skb_dst_mtu. The ip_dst_mtu tries to use the skb_dst(skb) as if it was a valid dst with valid
dst->dev, thus the crash. This case was never supported in the first place, so drop the packet instead.
