CVE-2013-4162: Medium severity Linux Linux kernel vulnerability

Q: What is the severity of CVE-2013-4162?

CVE-2013-4162 has been classified as a high-severity vulnerability due to its potential to cause crashes in the Linux kernel.

Q: How do I fix CVE-2013-4162?

To address CVE-2013-4162, update your Linux kernel to versions 5.10.223-1, 5.10.226-1, 6.1.119-1, or later.

Q: What versions of the Linux kernel are affected by CVE-2013-4162?

CVE-2013-4162 affects Linux kernel versions up to 3.10.3 inclusive.

Q: Who could exploit CVE-2013-4162?

An unprivileged user or program can exploit CVE-2013-4162 to crash the system by sending a datagram over an IPv6 socket.

Q: What does CVE-2013-4162 impact in Linux?

CVE-2013-4162 impacts the IPv6 networking stack and may lead to denial of service through kernel crashes.

Other sources

Linux kernel built with IPv6 networking is vulnerable to a crash while sending data as a single datagram over IPv6 socket when UDPCORK option set. UDPCORK enables accumulating data and sending it as a single datagram.

An unprivileged user/program could use this flaw to crash the kernel, resulting in local DoS.

— Red Hat

The udpv6pushpendingframes function in net/ipv6/udp.c in the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.10.3 makes an incorrect function call for pending data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG and system crash) via a crafted application that uses the UDPCORK option in a setsockopt system call.
