- 10.0 CRITICAL — CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: use neigh_ha_snapshot() in route_shortcircuit()
The neighbour hardware address n->ha can be updated asynchronously by the
neighbour subsystem, protected by n->ha_lock seqlock. Reading n->ha without
holding the seqlock loop can lead to torn reads or reading a partially updated
MAC address.
Use neigh_ha_snapshot() in route_shortcircuit() to safely copy n->ha under
read_seqbegin()/read_seqretry() lock protection before using it.
Note that arp_reduce() and neigh_reduce() seem to have the same issue
left for future patches.
