Summary

In the Linux kernel IPVS module, an integer overflow was fixed in the FTP helper that parses PASV/EPSV responses, which could wrap values and use incorrect port/address for data connections. The fix widens the port accumulator to u32 and rejects values above 65535 and address octets above 255.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can control data connection parameters, potentially redirecting traffic or causing other anomalies.

Recommendation

Update the kernel to a patched version.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipvs: fix integer overflow in ftp helper port/address parsing ip_vs_ftp_get_addrport() accumulates decimal digits into a __u16 (hport) and into unsigned char (p[]) without checking for overflow. A crafted FTP PASV/EPSV response with an over-long port or address octet wraps the value, so the helper configures the data connection with a truncated port/address. The netfilter conntrack FTP helper had the same defect, fixed in commit 2b413fc689ba ("netfilter: nf_conntrack_ftp: avoid u16 overflows"). Apply the equivalent fix here: widen the port accumulator to u32 and reject values above 65535, and reject address octets above 255.
