CVE-2023-42754 MEDIUM

Published: 2023-10-05 | Last Modified: 2024-11-21 | Status: Modified

Description

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel ipv4 stack. The socket buffer (skb) was assumed to be associated with a device before calling __ip_options_compile, which is not always the case if the skb is re-routed by ipvs. This issue may allow a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to crash the system.

Additional Descriptions (1)

Se encontró una falla de desreferencia del puntero NULL en la pila ipv4 del kernel de Linux. Se suponía que el búfer de socket (skb) estaba asociado con un dispositivo antes de llamar a __ip_options_compile, lo que no siempre es el caso si ipvs redirige el skb. Este problema puede permitir que un usuario local con privilegios CAP_NET_ADMIN bloquee el sistema.
