CVE-2023-46838

Transmit requests in Xen's virtual network protocol can consist of multiple parts. While not really useful, except for the initial part any of them may be of zero length, i.e. carry no data at all. Besides a certain initial portion of the to be transferred data, these parts are directly translated into what Linux calls SKB fragments. Such converted request parts can, when for a particular SKB they are all of length zero, lead to a de-reference of NULL in core networking code.

Summary
  • (es) Las solicitudes de transmisión en el protocolo de red virtual de Xen pueden constar de varias partes. Si bien no es realmente útil, excepto la parte inicial, cualquiera de ellos puede tener una longitud cero, es decir, no contener ningún dato. Además de una cierta porción inicial de los datos a transferir, estas partes se traducen directamente en lo que Linux llama fragmentos SKB. Estas partes de solicitud convertidas pueden, cuando para un SKB en particular todas tienen longitud cero, provocar una desreferencia de NULL en el código de red central.
