CVE-2021-47244

Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-125 Out-of-bounds Read
Publication date:

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> mptcp: Fix out of bounds when parsing TCP options<br /> <br /> The TCP option parser in mptcp (mptcp_get_options) could read one byte<br /> out of bounds. When the length is 1, the execution flow gets into the<br /> loop, reads one byte of the opcode, and if the opcode is neither<br /> TCPOPT_EOL nor TCPOPT_NOP, it reads one more byte, which exceeds the<br /> length of 1.<br /> <br /> This fix is inspired by commit 9609dad263f8 ("ipv4: tcp_input: fix stack<br /> out of bounds when parsing TCP options.").
