CVE-2021-47668

Estado: ModificadaAlta (8.8)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

can: dev: can_restart: fix use after free bug

After calling netif_rx_ni(skb), dereferencing skb is unsafe. Especially, the can_frame cf which aliases skb memory is accessed after the netif_rx_ni() in: stats->rx_bytes += cf->len;

Reordering the lines solves the issue.

CVSS

Versión: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Puntuación base: 8.8
