Doc Text:
A remote denial of service vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s TIPC kernel module. The while loop in tipc_link_xmit() hits an unknown state while attempting to parse SKBs, which are not in the queue. Sending two small UDP packets to a system with a UDP bearer results in the CPU utilization for the system to instantly spike to 100%, causing a denial of service condition.

Description Mauro Matteo Cascella 2023-03-14 14:49:53 UTC
A remote DoS vulnerability was found in the the Linux TIPC kernel module. Sending 2 small UDP packets to a system with a UDP bearer results in the CPU utilization for the system to instantly spike to 100% and the system is unresponsive to input. The while loop in tipc_link_xmit() hits an unknown state while attempting to parse SKB's which are not in the queue, resulting in DoS.
