CVE-2017-11600 kernel: Out-of-bounds access via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink message
Last modified: 2018-08-28 18:19:59 EDT
xfrm_migrate() function in net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c file in the Linux kernel build with CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE does not check that the dir parameter is less than XFRM_POLICY_MAX. This allows a local attacker cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact by sending a XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE netlink message. This flaw is present in the Linux kernel since an introduction of XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE in 2.6.21-rc1 and upto 4.13-rc3.
