CVE-2026-98419
En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad:
drop_monitor: corregir escritura fuera de límites en reset_per_cpu_data()
En reset_per_cpu_data(), al se calcula de la siguiente forma:
Dado que al incluye sizeof(struct nlattr) (la cabecera de atributo de 4 bytes), genlmsg_new() asigna al bytes de espacio final a partir de nla. Sin embargo, msg apunta a nla_data(nla), que se encuentra sizeof(struct nlattr) bytes después de nla. Por tanto, al llamar a memset(msg, 0, al) se escriben al bytes a partir de msg, superando el búfer asignado en sizeof(struct nlattr) (4 bytes) y corrompiendo skb_shared_info.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
Para solucionarlo, al debe representar únicamente la longitud de la carga útil, asignando el skb con genlmsg_new(nla_total_size(al), GFP_KERNEL) y poniendo a cero al bytes a partir de msg.
Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
al = sizeof(struct net_dm_alert_msg);
al += dm_hit_limit * sizeof(struct net_dm_drop_point);
al += sizeof(struct nlattr);
skb = genlmsg_new(al, GFP_KERNEL);
...
nla = nla_reserve(skb, NLA_UNSPEC, sizeof(struct net_dm_alert_msg));
...
msg = nla_data(nla);
