Summary

In the Linux kernel, the netfilter synproxy module has an unaligned memory access issue when adjusting the timestamp. Using unsafe operations can cause performance degradation or crashes on strict alignment architectures.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to system instability or performance degradation in high network traffic environments.

Recommendation

Install a kernel patch that uses get_unaligned_be32() and put_unaligned_be32() to safely read and write timestamp fields.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: synproxy: fix unaligned memory access in timestamp adjustment Use get_unaligned_be32() and put_unaligned_be32() to safely read and write the timestamp fields. This prevents performance degradation due to unaligned memory access or even a crash on strict alignment architectures. This follows the implementation of timestamp parsing in the networking stack at tcp_parse_options() and synproxy_parse_options().
