kernel: logic error in INET_DIAG bytecode auditing

Published Dec 10, 2010 CVSS 2.0 · 4.9 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
net/ipv4/inet_diag.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc2 does not properly audit INET_DIAG bytecode, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel infinite loop) via crafted INET_DIAG_REQ_BYTECODE instructions in a netlink message that contains multiple attribute elements, as demonstrated by INET_DIAG_BC_JMP instructions.
