CVE-2024-50256 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:8 perf to version 0:4.18.0-553.32.1.el8_10 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2024:10943.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf 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:
netfilter: nf_reject_ipv6: fix potential crash in nf_send_reset6()
I got a syzbot report without a repro [1] crashing in nf_send_reset6()
I think the issue is that dev->hard_header_len is zero, and we attempt later to push an Ethernet header.
Use LL_MAX_HEADER, as other functions in net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_reject_ipv6.c.
