VectorAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description The issue is related to errors in pointer dereferencing in the netkit component of the Linux kernel. Exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to cause a denial of service. The problem arises from the missing assignment of bpf net context in the netkit driver, which is required for XDP-redirect handling. Without this assignment, the system may crash due to a NULL pointer dereference when accessing per-CPU variables.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
