Описание
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.4.7. The prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() function in net/packet/af_packet.c can result in a denial of service (CPU consumption and soft lockup) in a certain failure case involving TPACKET_V3, aka CID-b43d1f9f7067.
A flaw was found in the way the af_packet functionality in the Linux kernel handled the retirement timer setting for TPACKET_v3 when getting settings from the underlying network device errors out. This flaw allows a local user who can open the af_packet domain socket and who can hit the error path, to use this vulnerability to starve the system.
Отчет
This issue is rated as having Moderate impact because of the preconditions needed to trigger the error code path and privileges required (CAP_NET_RAW).
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
