CVE-2023-42755

Kernel: rsvp: out-of-bounds read in rsvp_classify()

Published Oct 5, 2023 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw was found in the IPv4 Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) classifier in the Linux kernel. The xprt pointer may go beyond the linear part of the skb, leading to an out-of-bounds read in the `rsvp_classify` function. This issue may allow a local user to crash the system and cause a denial of service.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

This flaw can be mitigated by preventing the affected `cls_rsvp` kernel module from being loaded. For instructions on how to blacklist a kernel module, please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278.
