32th percentile - higher than 32% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the netfilter ipset module lacks a range check in the bitmap_ip_uadt function when IP_TO is not present but CIDR is set. This can lead to incorrect IP range validation, potentially allowing unauthorized access or other security issues.

Risk Assessment

Missing range check may allow an attacker to manipulate ipset rules, potentially leading to bypass of network security or privilege escalation in the system.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds the missing range checks and removes unnecessary ones.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: ipset: add missing range check in bitmap_ip_uadt When tb[IPSET_ATTR_IP_TO] is not present but tb[IPSET_ATTR_CIDR] exists, the values of ip and ip_to are slightly swapped. Therefore, the range check for ip should be done later, but this part is missing and it seems that the vulnerability occurs. So we should add missing range checks and remove unnecessary range checks.
