Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv4: ip_gre: make ipgre_header() robust Analog to commit db5b4e39c4e6 ("ip6_gre: make ip6gre_header() robust") Over the years, syzbot found many ways to crash the kernel in ipgre_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 ipgre device.

En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: ipv4: ip_gre: hacer ipgre_header() robusto Análogo al commit db5b4e39c4e6 ('ip6_gre: hacer ip6gre_header() robusto') A lo largo de los años, syzbot encontró muchas maneras de colapsar el kernel en ipgre_header() [1]. Esto implica la capacidad de los controladores de equipo o de enlace (bonding drivers) 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 ipgre.
