UBUNTU-CVE-2024-50258: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Q: What configuration is required for this crash to occur?

The affected system must be configured with a very small gso_max_size or gso_ipv4_max_size. Those values can cause an underflow in sk_dst_gso_max_size(), allowing the socket GSO maximum to exceed the device limit and reach a BUG_ON condition.

Q: What access does an attacker need?

The supplied severity vector indicates local access and low privileges are required, with no user interaction. The reported impact is denial of service through a kernel crash.

Q: Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed as affected?

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

Q: What is the mitigation if an update cannot be applied immediately?

Avoid configuring gso_max_size or gso_ipv4_max_size with very small values. The fix adds validation for the minimum permitted values of these settings.

Published Nov 9, 2024

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: fix crash when config small gsomaxsize/gsoipv4maxsize Config a small gsomaxsize/gsoipv4maxsize will lead to an underflow in skdstgsomaxsize(), which may trigger a BUGON crash, because sk->skgsomaxsize would be much bigger than device limits. Call Trace: tcpwritexmit tsosegs = tcpinittsosegs(skb, mssnow); tcpsetskbtsosegs tcpskbpcountset // skb->len = 524288, mssnow = 8 // u16 tsosegs = 524288/8 = 65535 -> 0 tsosegs = DIVROUNDUP(skb->len, mssnow) BUGON(!tsosegs) Add check for the minimum value of gsomaxsize and gsoipv4maxsize.

DescriptionSeverityAffected Software

Frequently Asked Questions

What configuration is required for this crash to occur?

The affected system must be configured with a very small gso_max_size or gso_ipv4_max_size. Those values can cause an underflow in sk_dst_gso_max_size(), allowing the socket GSO maximum to exceed the device limit and reach a BUG_ON condition.

What access does an attacker need?

The supplied severity vector indicates local access and low privileges are required, with no user interaction. The reported impact is denial of service through a kernel crash.

Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed as affected?
