CVE-2024-43817: kernel: net: missing check virtio
Component: kernel
Severity: Low
CWE: CWE-130 (Improper Handling of Length Parameter Inconsistency)
CVSS v3: 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
Public date: 2024-08-17T00:00:00+00:00

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: missing check virtio

Two missing check in virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() allowed syzbot
to crash kernels again

1. After the skb_segment function the buffer may become non-linear
(nr_frags != 0), but since the SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag is not set anywhere
the __skb_linearize function will not be executed, then the buffer will
remain non-linear. Then the condition (offset >= skb_headlen(skb))
becomes true, which causes WARN_ON_ONCE in skb_checksum_help.

2. The struct sk_buff and struct virtio_net_hdr members must be
mathematically related.
(gso_size) must be greater than (needed) otherwise WARN_ON_ONCE.
(remainder) must be greater than (needed) otherwise WARN_ON_ONCE.
(remainder) may be 0 if division is without remainder.
