Description

netfilter: nf_reject_ipv6: fix nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put()

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

netfilter: nf_reject_ipv6: fix nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put()

syzbot reported that nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put() was possibly sending

garbage on the four reserved tcp bits (th->res1)

Use skb_put_zero() to clear the whole TCP header,

as done in nf_reject_ip_tcphdr_put()

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity none, availability high.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H

  • Attack vector: Network — reachable from anywhere that can route to the service.
  • Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
  • Privileges required: None — an unauthenticated stranger can try it.
  • User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
  • Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
  • Confidentiality impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
  • Integrity impact: None.
  • Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
