Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in rmnet_map_ingress_handler() and __rmnet_map_ingress_handler() when processing a crafted short MAP frame on the no-aggregation ingress path. A local user can send a specially crafted frame to disclose sensitive information.

The issue occurs when ingress deaggregation is disabled, causing packet parsing to use the on-wire packet length without verifying skb->len first.
