What to know
- What it is
- A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net1080 driver allows a malicious device to send a short frame with a large packet length, causing a slab-out-of-bounds error. An attacker could exploit this to gain high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.

Story map
At a glance
Canonical Ubuntu Linux: Red, act today. A vulnerability exists in NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source when a map directive uses regex matching and the root directive or access log format references the map's regex capture variables before referencing the map output variable. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests, causing a heap buffer overflow in the NGINX worker process leading to a restart, or potential…

Original description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: usb: net1080: validate packet_len before pad-byte access in rx_fixup For an even packet_len, net1080_rx_fixup() reads the pad byte at skb->data[packet_len] before the skb->len != packet_len check further down, and packet_len is only bounded against NC_MAX_PACKET. A malicious NetChip 1080 device can send a short frame advertising a large even packet_len (e.g. 0x4000), so the pad-byte read lands past the end of the skb: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in net1080_rx_fixup Read of size 1 at addr ffff8880106c83c6 by task ksoftirqd/0/14 ... net1080_rx_fixup (drivers/net/usb/net1080.c:384) usbnet_bh (drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:1589) process_one_work (kernel/workqueue.c:3322) bh_worker (kernel/workqueue.c:3708) tasklet_action (kernel/softirq.c:965) handle_softirqs (kernel/softirq.c:622) ... Reject the frame when packet_len >= skb->len before reading.
