Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tunnels: fix kasan splat when generating ipv4 pmtu error
If we try to emit an icmp error in response to a nonliner skb, we get
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ip_compute_csum+0x134/0x220
Read of size 4 at addr ffff88811c50db00 by task iperf3/1691
CPU: 2 PID: 1691 Comm: iperf3 Not tainted 6.5.0-rc3+ #309
[..]
kasan_report+0x105/0x140
ip_compute_csum+0x134/0x220
iptunnel_pmtud_build_icmp+0x554/0x1020
skb_tunnel_check_pmtu+0x513/0xb80
vxlan_xmit_one+0x139e/0x2ef0
vxlan_xmit+0x1867/0x2760
dev_hard_start_xmit+0x1ee/0x4f0
br_dev_queue_push_xmit+0x4d1/0x660
[..]
ip_compute_csum() cannot deal with nonlinear skbs, so avoid it.
After this change, splat is gone and iperf3 is no longer stuck.

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.

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.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
