Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pppoe: reload header pointer after dev_hard_header()
pppoe_sendmsg() saves a pointer to the PPPoE header before calling
dev_hard_header(). Device header callbacks are allowed to reallocate the
skb head, invalidating pointers into it.
This can happen when a send is blocked in copy_from_user() while the first
non-Ethernet port is added to an empty team device. The team's delegated
GRE header callback then expands the skb head. PPPoE subsequently writes
six bytes through the stale pointer into the freed head.
Reload the PPPoE header through the skb's network-header offset after
device header creation. pskb_expand_head() updates that offset when it
relocates the head.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) implementation. This vulnerability occurs because a pointer to network packet data is not updated after memory is reallocated, leading to the use of an outdated memory address. An attacker with local access could potentially trigger this condition, causing memory corruption. This could result in a system crash (denial of service) or other unpredictable system behavior.
