UBUNTU-CVE-2024-49973: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: r8169: add tally counter fields added with RTL8125 RTL8125 added fields to the tally counter, what may result in the chip dma'ing these new fields to unallocated memory. Therefore make sure that the allocated memory area is big enough to hold all of the tally counter values, even if we use only parts of it.

Allocate a memory area large enough to hold all tally counter fields added by RTL8125, even when only part of the area is used, to prevent chip DMA into unallocated memory.
Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Which systems should be prioritized for remediation?
Prioritize Ubuntu systems running one of the listed kernel packages that use the r8169 driver with RTL8125 hardware. The issue involves RTL8125 tally-counter DMA writing beyond the memory allocated for those counters.
What level of access does an attacker need?
The supplied vector indicates local access and low privileges are required. No user interaction is required, and the vector does not indicate remote exploitation.
What is the expected security impact?
The vulnerability can cause DMA writes to unallocated memory. The provided severity vector indicates high availability impact, low integrity impact, and no confidentiality impact.
