There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 kernel-tools.
NVD Description
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:
net: add more sanity checks to qdisc_pkt_len_init()
One path takes care of SKB_GSO_DODGY, assuming skb->len is bigger than hdr_len.
virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() does not fully dissect TCP headers, it only make sure it is at least 20 bytes.
It is possible for an user to provide a malicious 'GSO' packet, total length of 80 bytes.
- 20 bytes of IPv4 header
- 60 bytes TCP header
- a small gso_size like 8
virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() would declare this packet as a normal GSO packet, because it would see 40 bytes of payload, bigger than gso_size.
We need to make detect this case to not underflow qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len.
