As a result, malformed fragment chains can\nbypass the intended validation and drive reassembly with inconsistent\nlength state, leading to a local denial of service.\n\nFix the accounting by storing the accumulated length in a length-typed\nfield and rejecting update overflows before the existing validation logic\nruns.\n\nThe fix was verified against the original reproducer and against valid\nfragment reassembly paths." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 9.8, "baseSeverity": "CRITICAL" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:N - The vulnerable path is reached by received ETH_P_BATMAN BATADV_UNICAST_FRAG network frames through batadv_batman_skb_recv(). A remote BATMAN-adv mesh peer can deliver crafted fragments to the target node without using a local syscall or device file.\nAC:L - The attacker controls the fragment sequence number, fragment number, total_size field, and payload lengths needed to trigger the wrapped accounting. In a reasonable high-MTU BATMAN-adv deployment, no race or victim-specific state beyond an active mesh interface is required.\nPR:N - The receive path performs packet-format, destination-MAC, mesh-state, and originator lookups, but no authentication or privilege check on the sender. An attacker sending accepted BATMAN-adv frames needs no privileges on the target.\nUI:N - Exploitation is triggered solely by delivery of crafted BATMAN-adv fragments to an active interface. No victim user action is required.\nS:U - The vulnerability corrupts or crashes the kernel handling the same BATMAN-adv/networking security authority. It does not cross a separate boundary such as guest-to-host or IOMMU isolation.\nC:H - The truncated length state can drive reassembly with inconsistent sizing and attacker-controlled fragment data, creating plausible kernel memory corruption. Under the overestimate rule, such corruption can be leveraged for kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The reassembly path can size the output skb from the wrapped total while copying more attacker-controlled fragment data than accounted. This is defensibly an out-of-bounds write/kernel memory corruption condition.\nA:H - At minimum, the malformed chain can hit skb tail overrun BUG/panic behavior or otherwise corrupt kernel memory.
