Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-11-09 12:30 – Updated: 2025-11-04 00:32

Details

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

netfilter: nf_reject_ipv6: fix potential crash in nf_send_reset6()

I got a syzbot report without a repro [1] crashing in nf_send_reset6()

I think the issue is that dev->hard_header_len is zero, and we attempt later to push an Ethernet header.

Use LL_MAX_HEADER, as other functions in net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_reject_ipv6.c.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
