Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-11-07 10:01:19 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xfrm: validate new SA's prefixlen using SA family when sel.family is unset

This expands the validation introduced in commit 07bf7908950a ("xfrm:
Validate address prefix lengths in the xfrm selector.")

syzbot created an SA with
    usersa.sel.family = AF_UNSPEC
    usersa.sel.prefixlen_s = 128
    usersa.family = AF_INET

Because of the AF_UNSPEC selector, verify_newsa_info doesn't put
limits on prefixlen_{s,d}. But then copy_from_user_state sets
x->sel.family to usersa.family (AF_INET). Do the same conversion in
verify_newsa_info before validating prefixlen_{s,d}, since that's how
prefixlen is going to be used later on.
