Title
net: ppp: Add bound checking for skb data on ppp_sync_txmung
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ppp: Add bound checking for skb data on ppp_sync_txmung
Ensure we have enough data in linear buffer from skb before accessing
initial bytes. This prevents potential out-of-bounds accesses
when processing short packets.
When ppp_sync_txmung receives an incoming package with an empty
payload:
(remote) gef➤ p *(struct pppoe_hdr *) (skb->head + skb->network_header)
$18 = {
type = 0x1,
ver = 0x1,
code = 0x0,
sid = 0x2,
length = 0x0,
tag = 0xffff8880371cdb96
}
from the skb struct (trimmed)
tail = 0x16,
end = 0x140,
head = 0xffff88803346f400 "4",
data = 0xffff88803346f416 ":\377",
truesize = 0x380,
len = 0x0,
data_len = 0x0,
mac_len = 0xe,
hdr_len = 0x0,
it is not safe to access data[2].

"value": "AV:N - The vulnerable function is reached from `ppp_input()` via `ppp_channel_bridge_input()`, which forwards remotely received PPP frames directly to the sync-tty channel\u0027s `start_xmit` before any length validation; the feeding channels include pppol2tp (UDP/IP) and pptp (GRE/IP), both routable across the internet on VPN concentrators. A remote peer sending a PPP payload shorter than 3 bytes triggers the read.\nAC:L - The trigger is fully deterministic and entirely attacker-controlled \u2014 emit one PPP frame with a zero-length or 1-2 byte payload; there is no race, no memory-layout requirement, and no state the attacker cannot influence.\nPR:N - PPPoE/PPTP/L2TP session establishment happens before any PPP-layer authentication (LCP/CHAP/PAP), so the malformed frame can be sent by an unauthenticated peer on an established but not-yet-authenticated session. No local account or capability is needed.\nUI:N - The out-of-bounds read occurs during normal packet transmit processing driven entirely by the attacker\u0027s inbound frame. No victim action is required.\nS:U - The impact is confined to the kernel\u0027s own security authority \u2014 a kernel-memory read within the same host. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:L - The read is strictly bounded to at most 3 bytes past the valid skb data, and those bytes are never transmitted \u2014 they only influence the `islcp`/protocol-compression branches, giving an indirect oracle over adjacent (possibly uninitialized) kernel heap contents rather than an arbitrary read primitive.\nI:N - The defect is read-only; `skb_pull()` is length-checked via `skb_pull_inline()` so `skb-\u003elen` cannot underflow, and the subsequent `skb_push()` is guarded by an explicit `skb_headroom()` check, leaving no out-of-bounds write or corrupted state.\nA:H - The out-of-bounds access is syzbot-reproducible and trips KASAN/KMSAN, causing an oops or panic on sanitizer-enabled and hardened kernels (panic_on_oops/panic_on_warn), and it can be triggered repeatedly by an unauthenticated remote peer."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
Sightings
| Author | Source | Type | Date | Other |

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
