NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bpftool-debuginfo package and not the bpftool-debuginfo package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

bridge: br_nd_send: linearize skb before parsing ND options

br_nd_send() parses neighbour discovery options from ns->opt[] and assumes that these options are in the linear part of request.

Its callers only guarantee that the ICMPv6 header and target address are available, so the option area can still be non-linear. Parsing ns->opt[] in that case can access data past the linear buffer.

Linearize request before option parsing and derive ns from the linear network header.
