Title
ipvs: avoid out-of-bounds write in ip_vs_nat_icmp
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: avoid out-of-bounds write in ip_vs_nat_icmp
Sashiko warns that local attacker can modify the packet
while it is processed by IPVS. Some places read the
IP ihl field multiple times which can cause out-of-bounds
access. One such place is ip_vs_nat_icmp where we
can write after the validated area.
Fix it by providing ciph argument just like it is done for
IPv6 and use ciph->len as offset to the embedded transport
header.
Modify some IPv4 header checks by reading the ihl field
only once.
Severity
No CVSS data available.
