CVE-2024-43817
Publication date:
17/08/2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: missing check virtio<br />
<br />
Two missing check in virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() allowed syzbot<br />
to crash kernels again<br />
<br />
1. After the skb_segment function the buffer may become non-linear<br />
(nr_frags != 0), but since the SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag is not set anywhere<br />
the __skb_linearize function will not be executed, then the buffer will<br />
remain non-linear. Then the condition (offset >= skb_headlen(skb))<br />
becomes true, which causes WARN_ON_ONCE in skb_checksum_help.<br />
<br />
2. The struct sk_buff and struct virtio_net_hdr members must be<br />
mathematically related.<br />
(gso_size) must be greater than (needed) otherwise WARN_ON_ONCE.<br />
(remainder) must be greater than (needed) otherwise WARN_ON_ONCE.<br />
(remainder) may be 0 if division is without remainder.<br />
<br />
offset+2 (4191) > skb_headlen() (1116)<br />
