Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to a data leakage vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net: dpaa component. When sending packets under 60 bytes, up to three bytes of the buffer following the data may be leaked. This can be avoided by extending all packets to ETH ZLEN, ensuring nothing is leaked in the padding. The bug can be reproduced by running $ ping -s 11 destination.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
