What to Know

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

net: qualcomm: rmnet: validate MAP frame length before ingress parsing

When ingress deaggregation is disabled, rmnet_map_ingress_handler() passes

the skb straight to __rmnet_map_ingress_handler(), skipping the length

validation that rmnet_map_deaggregate() performs on the aggregated path.

The parser then dereferences the MAP header and csum header/trailer based on

the on-wire pkt_len without checking skb->len, so a short frame is read out

of bounds:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in rmnet_map_checksum_downlink_packet

Read of size 1 at addr ffff88801118ed00 by task exploit/147

Call Trace:

...

Factor that validation out of rmnet_map_deaggregate() into

rmnet_map_validate_packet_len() and run it on the no-aggregation path too.

The MAP header is bounds-checked first, since this path can receive a frame

shorter than the header. (NVD)
