UBUNTU-CVE-2024-56659: Medium severity ubuntu/linux vulnerability

Q: Who is realistically exposed to this issue?

Systems running one of the listed Ubuntu kernel packages are in scope if they use the Linux LAPB networking code in an environment involving 802.1Q VLAN handling. The reported failure involves an interface named nr0.2, indicating a VLAN-style interface configuration.

Q: What does an attacker need to exploit it?

The severity vector indicates local access with low privileges is required, with no user interaction. The available information describes a crash condition rather than confidentiality or integrity impact.

Q: What is the operational impact if the issue is triggered?

Triggering the flaw can cause an skbuff underflow panic and kernel BUG, resulting in a system crash or denial of service. The vector rates availability impact as high while confidentiality and integrity impacts are listed as none.

Q: How can administrators identify a potentially affected environment?

Review whether the system runs any listed Ubuntu kernel package and whether LAPB networking is used with 802.1Q VLAN interfaces. Kernel logs containing skb_under_panic, skb_panic, or a kernel BUG in net/core/skbuff.c are indicators of the reported failure mode.

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: lapb: increase LAPBHEADERLEN It is unclear if net/lapb code is supposed to be ready for 8021q. We can at least avoid crashes like the following : skbuff: skbunderpanic: text:ffffffff8aabe1f6 len:24 put:20 head:ffff88802824a400 data:ffff88802824a3fe tail:0x16 end:0x140 dev:nr0.2 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:206 !

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is realistically exposed to this issue?

Systems running one of the listed Ubuntu kernel packages are in scope if they use the Linux LAPB networking code in an environment involving 802.1Q VLAN handling. The reported failure involves an interface named nr0.2, indicating a VLAN-style interface configuration.

What does an attacker need to exploit it?

The severity vector indicates local access with low privileges is required, with no user interaction. The available information describes a crash condition rather than confidentiality or integrity impact.

What is the operational impact if the issue is triggered?

Triggering the flaw can cause an skbuff underflow panic and kernel BUG, resulting in a system crash or denial of service. The vector rates availability impact as high while confidentiality and integrity impacts are listed as none.

How can administrators identify a potentially affected environment?

Review whether the system runs any listed Ubuntu kernel package and whether LAPB networking is used with 802.1Q VLAN interfaces. Kernel logs containing skb_under_panic, skb_panic, or a kernel BUG in net/core/skbuff.c are indicators of the reported failure mode.
