| Vector | AV: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 the
swap endian() function in the drivers/net/wireguard/allowedips.c module of the Linux kernel, which is associated with incorrect data reading. This can lead to unaligned 64-bit memory accesses on the parisc platform, causing kernel warnings. The swap endian() function attempts to load a 128-bit IPv6 address from an unaligned memory location, resulting in unaligned access warnings. To avoid such unaligned memory accesses, the get unaligned be64() helper macro should be used instead.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
