CVE-2023-52991
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix NULL pointer in skb_segment_list
Commit 3a1296a38d0c ("net: Support GRO/GSO fraglist chaining.") introduced UDP listifyed GRO. The segmentation relies on frag_list being untouched when passing through the network stack. This assumption can be broken sometimes, where frag_list itself gets pulled into linear area, leaving frag_list being NULL. When this happens it can trigger following NULL pointer dereference, and panic the kernel. Reverse the test condition should fix it.

El commit 3a1296a38d0c (\"net: Compatibilidad con encadenamiento de fraglist GRO/GSO\") introdujo GRO con lista UDP. La segmentación depende de que frag_list permanezca intacto al pasar por la pila de red. Esta suposición puede fallar a veces, ya que frag_list se arrastra al área lineal, dejando frag_list como nulo. Cuando esto sucede, puede desencadenar la consiguiente desreferencia de puntero nulo y generar un pánico en el kernel. Revertir la condición de prueba debería solucionarlo.
