kernel: Out-of-bounds access via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink message
Published Jul 24, 2017
7.0
HIGHCVSS 3.1
EPSS 0.41%
Description
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.3, when CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE is enabled, does not ensure that the dir value of xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink message.
