Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an off-by-one error in tls_push_record() in the net/tls subsystem when chaining a wrapped sk_msg scatterlist ring. A local user can trigger the wrapped ring condition to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs when the sk_msg scatterlist ring wraps with sg.end less than sg.start.
