CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18282

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to track devices via UDP packets.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output in the flow_dissector feature in the Linux kernel 4.3 through 5.x before 5.3.10 and affects net/core/flow_dissector.c and related code. The auto flowlabel of a UDP IPv6 packet relies on a 32-bit hashrnd value as a secret, and because jhash (instead of siphash) is used. The hashrnd value remains the same starting from boot time, and can be inferred by an attacker. A remote attacker can use the hashrnd value and track reliably track activity of devices using UDP packets.
