CVE-2022-50365

MEDIUM

Linux Kernel 4.9.194-4.9.336 - Denial of Service via skbuff Tail Adjustment

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: skbuff: Account for tail adjustment during pull operations Extending the tail can have some unexpected side effects if a program uses a helper like BPF_FUNC_skb_pull_data to read partial content beyond the head skb headlen when all the skbs in the gso frag_list are linear with no head_frag - kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:4219! pc : skb_segment+0xcf4/0xd2c lr : skb_segment+0x63c/0xd2c Call trace: skb_segment+0xcf4/0xd2c __udp_gso_segment+0xa4/0x544 udp4_ufo_fragment+0x184/0x1c0 inet_gso_segment+0x16c/0x3a4 skb_mac_gso_segment+0xd4/0x1b0 __skb_gso_segment+0xcc/0x12c udp_rcv_segment+0x54/0x16c udp_queue_rcv_skb+0x78/0x144 udp_unicast_rcv_skb+0x8c/0xa4 __udp4_lib_rcv+0x490/0x68c udp_rcv+0x20/0x30 ip_protocol_deliver_rcu+0x1b0/0x33c ip_local_deliver+0xd8/0x1f0 ip_rcv+0x98/0x1a4 deliver_ptype_list_skb+0x98/0x1ec __netif_receive_skb_core+0x978/0xc60 Fix this by marking these skbs as GSO_DODGY so segmentation can handle the tail updates accordingly.
