Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fou: remove warn in gue_gro_receive on unsupported protocol
Drop the WARN_ON_ONCE inn gue_gro_receive if the encapsulated type is
not known or does not have a GRO handler.
Such a packet is easily constructed. Syzbot generates them and sets
off this warning.
Remove the warning as it is expected and not actionable.
The warning was previously reduced from WARN_ON to WARN_ON_ONCE in
commit 270136613bf7 ("fou: Do WARN_ON_ONCE in gue_gro_receive for bad
proto callbacks").
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's network handling, specifically within the Generic UDP Encapsulation (GUE) Generic Receive Offload (GRO) function. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending specially crafted network packets containing unsupported encapsulated protocols. This could trigger a system warning, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) by causing system instability. There is also a limited potential for information disclosure related to IP protocol metadata.
Отчет
This flaw does not seems to be impacting C and I of the kernel metadata, this could impact confidentiality (if it does) should be limited to IP protocol metadata only.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
