Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: fix geneve_opt length integer overflow

struct geneve_opt uses 5 bit length for each single option, which means every vary size option should be smaller than 128 bytes.

However, all current related Netlink policies cannot promise this length condition and the attacker can exploit a exact 128-byte size option to fake a zero length option and confuse the parsing logic, further achieve heap out-of-bounds read.

One example crash log is like below:
