CVE-2024-36244

CVSS v3.1

5.5

Medium

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 versions prior to 6.6.37
Description The issue is related to the net/sched: taprio component of the Linux kernel, where the taprio UAPI allows a cycle-time different from the sum of entry intervals. This can be exploited by syzbot, which can side-step the restriction imposed by the blamed commit. To address this, a new restriction is added to ensure the cycle time itself is larger than N * ETH ZLEN bit times, where N is the number of schedule entries. This restriction applies regardless of whether the cycle time came from the user or was the implicit, auto-calculated value.
Recommendations Update to Linux kernel version 6.6.37 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the taprio UAPI to minimize the risk of exploitation.
