CVE-2017-18017 – kernel: netfilter: use-after-free in tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2017-18017

The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11, and 4.9.x before 4.9.36, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables action. La función tcpmss_mangle_packet en net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c en el kernel de Linux, en versiones anteriores a la 4.11 y en versiones 4.9.x anteriores a la 4.9.36, permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (uso de memoria previamente liberada y corrupción de memoria) o, posiblemente, otro tipo de impacto sin especificar aprovechando la presencia de xt_TCPMSS en una acción iptables. The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11, and 4.9.x before 4.9.36, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables action. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. • http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=2638fd0f92d4397884fd991d8f4925cb3f081901 http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2018-02/msg00008.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2018-02/msg00013.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2018-02/msg00015.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2018-02/msg00038.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2018-02/msg00047.html http://lists.opensuse.org • CWE-119: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer CWE-416: Use After Free •
