kernel: net: core: reject skb_copy(_expand) for fraglist GSO skbs

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. When copying or expanding fragmented Generic Segmentation Offload GSO network packet buffers, the kernel improperly linearizes them, leaving the buffers in an invalid state. A local user can exploit this vulnerability to trigger a kernel crash during subseque...

kernel: net: amd-xgbe: Fix skb data length underflow

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: amd-xgbe: Fix skb data length underflow There will be BUGON triggered in include/linux/skbuff.h leading to intermittent kernel panic, when the skb length underflow is detected. Fix this by dropping the packet if such length...

kernel: net: fix information leakage in /proc/net/ptype

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: fix information leakage in /proc/net/ptype In one net namespace, after creating a packet socket without binding it to a device, users in other net namespaces can observe the new packettype added by this packet socket by...

kernel: tcp: properly terminate timers for kernel sockets

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TCP subsystem. When kernel-managed TCP sockets are closed, active network timers may continue executing after the associated network namespace has been dismantled and freed. A local attacker can exploit this timing condition to trigger a use-after-free memor...

kernel: tcp: Use refcount_inc_not_zero() in tcp_twsk_unique().

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s TCP protocol in how a local user triggers a complex race condition during connection to the socket. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system...

kernel: net/sched: act_skbmod: prevent kernel-infoleak

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: actskbmod: prevent kernel-infoleak syzbot found that tcfskbmoddump was copying four bytes from kernel stack to user space 1. The issue here is that 'struct tcskbmod' has a four bytes hole. We need to clear the structur...

kernel: af_unix: Fix data races in unix_release_sock/unix_stream_sendmsg

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: afunix: Fix data races in unixreleasesock/unixstreamsendmsg A data-race condition has been identified in afunix. In one data path, the write function unixreleasesock atomically writes to sk-skshutdown using WRITEONCE. However, on...

kernel: nsh: Restore skb->{protocol,data,mac_header} for outer header in nsh_gso_segment().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nsh: Restore skb-protocol,data,macheader for outer header in nshgsosegment. syzbot triggered various splats see 0 and links by a crafted GSO packet of VIRTIONETHDRGSOUDP layering the following protocols: ETHP8021AD + ETHPNSH +...

kernel: inet: inet_defrag: prevent sk release while still in use

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: inet: inetdefrag: prevent sk release while still in use iplocalout and other functions can pass skb-sk as function argument. If the skb is a fragment and reassembly happens before such function call returns, the sk must not be...

kernel: inet: inet_defrag: prevent sk release while still in use

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: inet: inetdefrag: prevent sk release while still in use iplocalout and other functions can pass skb-sk as function argument. If the skb is a fragment and reassembly happens before such function call returns, the sk must not be...

kernel: ipv4: Fix uninit-value access in __ip_make_skb()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IPv4 networking subsystem. A local user can cause a Denial of Service DoS by exploiting a race condition when altering socket options while network packets are being constructed. This issue leads to an uninitialized memory read that can crash the system...

kernel: atl1c: Work around the DMA RX overflow issue

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: atl1c: Work around the DMA RX overflow issue This is based on alx driver commit 881d0327db37 "net: alx: Work around the DMA RX overflow issue". The alx and atl1c drivers had RX overflow error which was why a custom allocator was...

kernel: TIPC message reassembly use-after-free remote code execution vulnerability

A use-after-free UAF flaw exists in the Linux Kernel within the reassembly of fragmented TIPC messages, specifically in the tipcbufappend function. The issue results due to a lack of checks in the error handling cleanup and can trigger a UAF on "struct skbuff", which may lead to remote code...

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS : Linux kernel vulnerabilities (USN-6949-1)

"The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6949-1 advisory. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update...

AZL-47492 CVE-2024-42246 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.43.1-7

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net, sunrpc: Remap EPERM in case of connection failure in xstcpsetupsocket When using a BPF program on kernelconnect, the call can return -EPERM. This causes xstcpsetupsocket to loop forever, filling up the syslog and causing the...
