Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
netlink: reset skb headers before unicast and multicast filtering<br />
<br />
Socket filters can use SKF_NET_OFF and SKF_LL_OFF to read relative to<br />
an skb&#39;s network and MAC headers. Netlink producers may reserve<br />
headroom without resetting those headers, allowing a receiving socket&#39;s<br />
filter to read data before the initialized message.<br />
<br />
For example, IWPM HELLO replies are allocated with dev_alloc_skb(),<br />
which reserves NET_SKB_PAD bytes. An unprivileged NETLINK_RDMA user can<br />
attach a classic socket filter and disclose this headroom through the<br />
length of the delivered reply. The resets in netlink_dump() do not help<br />
because IWPM sends a separately allocated skb through netlink_unicast().<br />
<br />
Reset both headers before running the receiver&#39;s filter in unicast and<br />
broadcast delivery, as is already done for dump skbs. This also covers<br />
other netlink producers that reserve headroom without changing their<br />
allocation or message-building code.
