Divide By Zero Affecting kernel-headers package, versions *
Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

CVE-2024-36905 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 kernel-headers.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-headers package and not the kernel-headers package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: defer shutdown(SEND_SHUTDOWN) for TCP_SYN_RECV sockets
TCP_SYN_RECV state is really special, it is only used by cross-syn connections, mostly used by fuzzers.
In the following crash [1], syzbot managed to trigger a divide by zero in tcp_rcv_space_adjust()
A socket makes the following state transitions, without ever calling tcp_init_transfer(), meaning tcp_init_buffer_space() is also not called.
TCP_CLOSE
connect() TCP_SYN_SENT TCP_SYN_RECV shutdown() -> tcp_shutdown(sk, SEND_SHUTDOWN) TCP_FIN_WAIT1
To fix this issue, change tcp_shutdown() to not perform a TCP_SYN_RECV -> TCP_FIN_WAIT1 transition, which makes no sense anyway.
When tcp_rcv_state_process() later changes socket state from TCP_SYN_RECV to TCP_ESTABLISH, then look at sk->sk_shutdown to finally enter TCP_FIN_WAIT1 state, and send a FIN packet from a sane socket state.
This means tcp_send_fin() can now be called from BH context, and must use GFP_ATOMIC allocations.
