Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip_gre: Reject enabling collect metadata through changelink
ipgre_netlink_parms() can enable collect_md on an existing GRE, GRETAP
or ERSPAN device. Unlike newlink, changelink does not enforce metadata
tunnel uniqueness. Converting a non-metadata device can therefore
replace the metadata receive entry for another device of the same type
in the same netns. Deleting either device then clears the shared entry,
breaking metadata receive lookup for the surviving device.
If parameter validation fails after collect_md is set, deleting the
modified device can also clear an entry it never owned.
Reject enabling metadata mode in both changelink callbacks before any
encapsulation or tunnel parameters are modified. Allow requests that
repeat the metadata attribute on an existing metadata device.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) subsystem. A local user with network administration privileges could cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by enabling metadata collection on an existing GRE network device through a netlink interface modification request. Because the kernel fails to verify tunnel uniqueness during link modifications, this operation can overwrite shared metadata lookup entries, breaking packet reception for other active tunnel devices in the same network namespace when either device is removed.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate severity because exploitation requires elevated local privileges (CAP_NET_ADMIN), which restricts the attack vector and bounds the potential impact to a localized denial of service. Under default Red Hat Enterprise Linux installations, Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels are not configured or active. Triggering the flaw requires reconfiguring existing tunnel parameters via netlink, and the resulting disruption is confined to network traffic within the affected namespace without compromising system integrity or confidentiality.
