UBUNTU-CVE-2024-49949: Null Pointer Dereference

Published Oct 21, 2024
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: avoid potential underflow in qdiscpktleninit() with UFO After commit 7c6d2ecbda83 ("net: be more gentle about silly gso requests coming from user") virtionethdrtoskb() had sanity check to detect malicious attempts from user space to cook a bad GSO packet. Then commit cf9acc90c80ec ("net: virtionethdrtoskb: count transport header in UFO") while fixing one issue, allowed user space to cook a GSO packet with the following characteristic : IPv4 SKBGSOUDP, gsosize=3, skb->len = 28. When this packet arrives in qdiscpktleninit(), we end up with hdrlen = 28 (IPv4 header + UDP header), matching skb->len Then the following sets gsosegs to 0 : gsosegs = DIVROUNDUP(skb->len - hdrlen, shinfo->gsosize); Then later we set qdiscskbcb(skb)->pktlen to back to zero :/ qdiscskbcb(skb)->pktlen += (gsosegs - 1) hdrlen; This leads to the following crash in fqcodel [1] qdiscpktleninit() is best effort, we only want an estimation of the bytes sent on the wire, not crashing the kernel. This patch is fixing this particular issue, a following one adds more sanity checks for another potential bug.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who can trigger this issue?

An attacker needs local access with low privileges and the ability to submit a crafted GSO packet from user space. The described trigger uses an IPv4 UDP GSO packet with a very small gso_size and packet length matching the combined IPv4 and UDP header length.

2

What is the impact of successful exploitation?

The malformed packet can cause an underflow in qdisc_pkt_len_init() and lead to a kernel crash in fq_codel. The provided severity vector indicates availability impact to the vulnerable component, with no stated confidentiality or integrity impact.

3

Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed as affected?

The listed software includes ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-aws, ubuntu/linux-aws-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-azure-fips, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-oracle, and ubuntu/linux-fips.
