Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to the incorrect handling of packets in the Linux kernel's gro component. When packets are GROed with fraglist, they might be segmented later and continue their journey in the stack. In skb segment list, those skbs can be reused as-is, which is an issue because their destructor was removed in skb gro receive list but not the reference to their socket, making them unable to be orphaned. This can lead to a kernel bug. The vulnerability can be exploited to cause a denial of service.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
