GHSA-255M-8V4R-MCGR

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-08-22 15:33 – Updated: 2025-11-26 18:30

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tls: stop recv() if initial process_rx_list gave us non-DATA

If we have a non-DATA record on the rx_list and another record of the same type still on the queue, we will end up merging them: - process_rx_list copies the non-DATA record - we start the loop and process the first available record since it's of the same type - we break out of the loop since the record was not DATA

Just check the record type and jump to the end in case process_rx_list did some work.

Severity

5.5 (Medium)

Any kTLS-enabled endpoint (OpenSSL/nginx offload, NVMe-TCP target, NFS/RPC-with-TLS, tlshd-provisioned sockets) is reachable from the network.\nAC:L - The attacker simply sends two same-type non-DATA records back-to-back, and can force the required \"leftover record on rx_list\" precondition by making the first control record larger than the reader\u0027s buffer (partially_consumed \u2192 put_on_rx_list). There is no race, no memory-layout dependency, and no timing window to win.\nPR:N - The attacker only needs to be the TLS peer on an established session; on a public kTLS server the handshake is server-authenticated only, so any anonymous client can complete it and then emit arbitrary post-handshake alert/handshake records. No privileges or accounts on the target host are required.\nUI:N - The vulnerable path is the target\u0027s ordinary recvmsg() server loop; no victim action beyond normal socket reads is needed. The remote peer triggers it purely by its own record transmission pattern.\nS:U - The consequences are confined to the affected socket and the kernel/process security authority that owns it. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:N - Only the attacker\u0027s own decrypted record payload is delivered to the consumer; all copies remain bounded by the caller-supplied len, so no kernel memory, uninitialized data, or other-session content is exposed.\nI:L - A remote peer can make the kernel coalesce two distinct TLS control records into one recvmsg() under a single TLS_GET_RECORD_TYPE cmsg with no intervening record boundary, corrupting the protocol message stream handed to the consumer \u2014 e.g. tls_alert_recv() parses only the first two bytes, letting a fatal alert be hidden behind a preceding warning alert. The modification is real but limited to attacker-supplied control-message framing, not arbitrary data or control-flow.\nA:H - With MSG_WAITALL, target is derived from the full requested length before len -= copied, so after process_rx_list returns a complete control record the loop re-enters tls_rx_rec_wait() and blocks indefinitely (default SO_RCVTIMEO of 0) instead of returning the record. The wedged reader holds ctx-\u003ereader_present, so every other thread reading that socket also stalls in tls_rx_reader_acquire(), and a remote peer can repeat this across connections to hang service threads."

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

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.
