Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds access in dev_map_enqueue_clone() and dev_map_redirect_clone() when cloning fragmented native XDP frames or nonlinear generic XDP packets for devmap broadcast redirects. A local user can trigger clone-based broadcast handling with a crafted fragmented frame to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs because fragment metadata is not present in the linear cloned frame, and later frame return can interpret uninitialized tail data as skb_shared_info.
Affected software
Linux kernel
