In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bridge: mrp: fix uninitialised bytes on the wire
br_mrp_alloc_test_skb() builds MRP test frames on an skb from
dev_alloc_skb(), which does not clear the linear data area. On the MRA
ring-role branch the sub-option TLV header is appended with
sub_tlv = skb_put(skb, sizeof(*sub_tlv));
sub_tlv->type = BR_MRP_SUB_TLV_HEADER_TEST_AUTO_MGR;
so sub_tlv->length is never written, and the two trailing alignment bytes
are appended with a bare skb_put() that does not clear them either. The
neighbouring oui and sub_opt regions are explicitly zeroed, so three
uninitialised bytes are left in every MRA MRP_Test frame that goes out.
Put the sub-option TLV header and the alignment padding in a single
skb_put_zero(), which clears both. The AUTO_MGR sub-TLV carries no
payload, so the zeroed length field is already the value it should have.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) bridge module. When constructing MRP test frames, the br_mrp_alloc_test_skb() function fails to properly initialize certain fields. This oversight results in three uninitialized bytes being transmitted in every MRA MRP_Test frame, potentially leading to the disclosure of sensitive information.
