Summary

In the Linux kernel netfilter subsystem, there is an issue with unreadable packet fragments (e.g., from devmem TCP). The skb_copy_bits() function returns an error, but the xt_u32 module does not handle it properly. Additionally, gather_frags, nfnetlink_queue, and nfnetlink_log do not cope with such fragments.

Risk Assessment

Unreadable packet fragments can lead to errors in netfilter processing, potentially allowing an attacker to bypass filtering rules or cause a crash.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that adds handling of unreadable fragments in xt_u32, gather_frags, nfnetlink_queue, and nfnetlink_log.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: handle unreadable frags sashiko reports: When an skb with unreadable fragments (such as from devmem TCP, where skb_frags_readable(skb) returns false) is processed by the u32 module, skb_copy_bits() will safely return a negative error code [..] xt_u32: bail out with hotdrop in this case. gather_frags: return -1, just as if we had no fragment header. nfnetlink_queue: restrict to the linear part. nfnetlink_log: restrict to the linear part. v2: - skb_zerocopy helpers don't copy readable flag, i.e. nfnetlink_queue is broken too xt_u32 shouldn't return true if hotdrop was set.
