Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xt_rateest: fix u64 truncation in xt_rateest_mt()
On links faster than 34 Gbps, where byte rate may exceed 2^32-1
( 4.3 GBps), the comparison result becomes incorrect because the
truncated value no longer reflects the actual estimator rate.
Fix by changing the local variables to u64.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter component, specifically within the xt_rateest module. This vulnerability occurs on network links operating at speeds of approximately 34 Gigabits per second (Gbps) or faster. Due to an integer truncation issue, the system incorrectly calculates the actual network traffic rate. This can lead to inaccurate rate estimations, potentially disrupting network traffic management and causing unexpected network behavior.
