In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: tt: avoid request storms during pending request
batadv_send_tt_request() allocates a tt_req_node when none exists for the
destination originator node. This should prevent that a multiple TT
requests are send at the same time to an originator.
But if allocation of the send buffer failed, this request must be cleaned
up again. But indicator for such a failure is "ret == false". But the
actual implementation is checking for "ret == true".
The check must be inverted to not loose the information about the TT
request directly after it was attempted to be sent out. This should avoid
potential request storms.
A flaw was found in the batman-adv (Better Approach To Mobile Ad-hoc Networking) module of the Linux kernel. An incorrect check during the handling of TT (Topology Table) requests can prevent the proper cleanup of request nodes when send buffer allocation fails. This can lead to a remote attacker causing request storms, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
Отчет
A flaw with Moderate impact was found in the batman-adv (Better Approach To Mobile Ad-hoc Networking) module of the Linux kernel. batadv_send_tt_request() allocates a per-originator tt_req_node to prevent multiple translation table (TT) requests from being sent to the same originator at the same time, but an inverted boolean check tests for a successful send (ret == true) where the send-buffer allocation failure case (ret == false) must be handled, so the information about a pending TT request is lost directly after the request was attempted to be sent out. A remote attacker able to participate in a batman-adv mesh network could exploit this to trigger TT request storms, resulting in a denial of service. Red Hat Product Security rates this flaw Moderate (CVSS 3.1 score 5.5), while the upstream CVE record assigns a higher severity of Important (CVSS 3.1 score 7.5, using a network attack vector). All currently listed Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat In-Vehicle OS kernel and kernel-rt streams are marked not affected for this flaw because the vulnerable code is not present in the shipped Red Hat kernel packages, so no update is required for Red Hat products.
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.
