In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: ensure inner headers in ICMP errors are in headroom
Sashiko points out that after stripping the outer headers
with pskb_pull() we should ensure the inner IP headers
in ICMP errors from tunnels are present in the skb headroom
for functions like ipv4_update_pmtu(), icmp_send() and
IP_VS_DBG().
Also, add more checks for the length of the inner headers.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IP Virtual Server (IPVS) component. This vulnerability occurs when the system processes Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) errors originating from network tunnels. Specifically, after stripping outer packet headers, the IPVS component fails to ensure that the inner IP headers are correctly positioned in the packet buffer's headroom. This improper handling of network packet headers could lead to incorrect packet processing, potentially resulting in a denial of service (DoS) or other forms of network instability.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this vulnerability, prevent the IP Virtual Server kernel module from loading if IPVS load balancing services are not required:
- Create a configuration file to disable module loading:
echo "install ip_vs /bin/true" > /etc/modprobe.d/ip_vs.conf
- If the module is already loaded, remove it:
modprobe -r ip_vs
Caveats: Disabling this module will disrupt systems actively utilizing IPVS for network load balancing, clustering (such as Keepalived), or container ingress proxies. If the module is currently in use and cannot be unloaded with modprobe, a system restart will be required for the configuration to take effect.
