UBUNTU-CVE-2024-50142: Low severity ubuntu/linux vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: validate new SA's prefixlen using SA family when sel.family is unset This expands the validation introduced in commit 07bf7908950a ("xfrm: Validate address prefix lengths in the xfrm selector.") syzbot created an SA with usersa.sel.family = AFUNSPEC usersa.sel.prefixlens = 128 usersa.family = AFINET Because of the AFUNSPEC selector, verifynewsainfo doesn't put limits on prefixlen{s,d}. But then copyfromuserstate sets x->sel.family to usersa.family (AFINET). Do the same conversion in verifynewsainfo before validating prefixlen{s,d}, since that's how prefixlen is going to be used later on.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can trigger this issue?
An attacker needs local access and low-level privileges, as indicated by the PR:L vector. The issue involves creating an XFRM security association with an unspecified selector family and an invalid prefix length.
Are remotely reachable systems affected without local access?
The provided vector lists local attack access and no user interaction requirement. It does not indicate a remote attack path or impact to confidentiality, integrity, or availability.
What condition identifies potentially affected XFRM security-association creation?
The problematic input uses sel.family set to AF_UNSPEC, a source prefix length of 128, and an SA family of AF_INET. In that combination, validation previously did not apply the IPv4 prefix-length limit before the selector family was converted.
