CVE-2025-71098 MEDIUM

Published: 2026-01-13 | Last Modified: 2026-07-14 | Status: Modified

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ip6_gre: make ip6gre_header() robust Over the years, syzbot found many ways to crash the kernel in ip6gre_header() [1]. This involves team or bonding drivers ability to dynamically change their dev->needed_headroom and/or dev->hard_header_len In this particular crash mld_newpack() allocated an skb with a too small reserve/headroom, and by the time mld_sendpack() was called, syzbot managed to attach an ip6gre device.

En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: ip6_gre: hacer que ip6gre_header() sea robusto A lo largo de los años, syzbot encontró muchas maneras de colapsar el kernel en ip6gre_header() [1]. Esto implica la capacidad de los controladores de equipo o de enlace (bonding) de cambiar dinámicamente su dev-&gt;needed_headroom y/o dev-&gt;hard_header_len En este colapso particular, mld_newpack() asignó un skb con una reserva/espacio de cabecera (headroom) demasiado pequeño, y para cuando se llamó a mld_sendpack(), syzbot logró adjuntar un dispositivo ip6gre.
