CWE-229

Description

A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The issue is in the nft_byteorder_eval() function, where the code iterates through a loop and writes to the `dst` array. On each iteration, 8 bytes are written, but `dst` is an array of u32, so each element only has space for 4 bytes. That means every iteration overwrites part of the previous element corrupting this array of u32. This flaw allows a local user to cause a denial of service or potentially break NetFilter functionality.

Affected configurations

• debian debian linux 10.0 • linux linux kernel (< 6.6.3) • fedoraproject fedora 39 • redhat enterprise linux 8.0 • redhat enterprise linux 9.0
