Doc Text:
CVE-2024-35884 highlights a flaw in the Linux kernel's handling of UDP packets when Generic Receive Offload (GRO) forwarding is enabled. The issue occurs because non-tunnel UDP packets are sometimes mistakenly processed as if they belong to a tunnel. This can lead to data corruption or kernel crashes, particularly in environments with complex network configurations or when certain tunneling protocols like Geneve are used. The kernel's processing logic for GRO and UDP packets fails to properly differentiate between tunneled and non-tunneled packets. As a result, improperly handled packets may lead to segmentation errors or system instability. This vulnerability affects system availability and could result in crashes or data integrity issues during packet forwarding.

Comment 5 Alex 2024-06-09 15:41:52 UTC
The result of automatic check (that is developed by Alexander Larkin) for this CVE-2024-35884 is: CHECK	Maybe valid. Check manually. with impact MODERATE (that is approximation based on flags DANGER SKB IMPROVEONLY  ; these flags parsed automatically based on patche data). Such automatic check happens only for Low/Moderates (and only when not from reporter, but parsing already existing CVE). Highs always checked manually (I check it myself and then we check it again in Remediation team). In rare cases some of the Moderates could be increased to High later.
