Описание

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: macvlan: add forgotten nla_policy for IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_CUTOFF The previous commit 954d1fa1ac93 ("macvlan: Add netlink attribute for broadcast cutoff") added one additional attribute named IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_CUTOFF to allow broadcast cutfoff. However, it forgot to describe the nla_policy at macvlan_policy (drivers/net/macvlan.c). Hence, this suppose NLA_S32 (4 bytes) integer can be faked as empty (0 bytes) by a malicious user, which could leads to OOB in heap just like CVE-2023-3773. To fix it, this commit just completes the nla_policy description for IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_CUTOFF. This enforces the length check and avoids the potential OOB read.

Отчет

The patch adds the missing nla_policy entry for IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_CUTOFF, enforcing a 4-byte NLA_S32 and preventing a heap out-of-bounds read. Impact is mainly information disclosure and possibly a local DoS during malformed netlink processing; there is no clear integrity impact. For the CVSS the PR:H because crafting the malicious netlink attribute typically requires CAP_NET_ADMIN (creating/modifying macvlan links). In containerized setups where that capability is delegated, effective privileges may be lower.
