Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to the CDC-NCM component in the Linux kernel, where a broken device may provide an extreme offset and a reasonable length for a fragment, causing an integer overflow in the sanity check. This defeats the sanity check, allowing potential exploitation. The quantities
offset and offset + len should be checked to prevent overflow, and these quantities should be unsigned.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
