Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
packet: use consistent hard_header_len in TX_RING send path
tpacket_snd() reads dev->hard_header_len independently for skb
allocation and header construction in tpacket_fill_skb(). Concurrent
netdevice reconfiguration can therefore make the reserved headroom
smaller than the amount later pushed, or make copylen - hard_header_len
negative.
Snapshot hard_header_len once before processing ring frames and use it
for the frame limit, headroom allocation, copy length, and skb
construction. Pass the snapshot to tpacket_fill_skb().
The separate SOCK_DGRAM consistency problem between hard_header_len and
header_ops->create is not addressed here.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's packet handling mechanism. During concurrent network device reconfigurations, an inconsistency in how the hard_header_len value is used can lead to memory corruption. This issue could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service by triggering a system crash or potentially lead to other unpredictable system behavior.
