Resource Injection Affecting kernel-tools package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-tools package and not the kernel-tools package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

mld: fix panic in mld_newpack()

mld_newpack() doesn't allow to allocate high order page, only order-0 allocation is allowed. If headroom size is too large, a kernel panic could occur in skb_put().

Test commands: ip netns del A ip netns del B ip netns add A ip netns add B ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1 ip link set veth0 netns A ip link set veth1 netns B

ip netns exec A ip link set lo up
ip netns exec A ip link set veth0 up
ip netns exec A ip -6 a a 2001:db8:0::1/64 dev veth0
ip netns exec B ip link set lo up
ip netns exec B ip link set veth1 up
ip netns exec B ip -6 a a 2001:db8:0::2/64 dev veth1
for i in {1..99}
do
    let A=$i-1
    ip netns exec A ip link add ip6gre$i type ip6gre \
local 2001:db8:$A::1 remote 2001:db8:$A::2 encaplimit 100
    ip netns exec A ip -6 a a 2001:db8:$i::1/64 dev ip6gre$i
    ip netns exec A ip link set ip6gre$i up

ip netns exec B ip link add ip6gre$i type ip6gre \

local 2001:db8:$A::2 remote 2001:db8:$A::1 encaplimit 100
    ip netns exec B ip -6 a a 2001:db8:$i::2/64 dev ip6gre$i
    ip netns exec B ip link set ip6gre$i up
done

Allowing high order page allocation could fix this problem.
