Descriptions
The nfnetlink_rcv_batch function in net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 does not check whether a batch message's length field is large enough, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (infinite loop or out-of-bounds read) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.
La función nfnetlink_rcv_batch en net / netfilter / nfnetlink.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.5 no comprueba si el campo de longitud de un mensaje por lotes es lo suficientemente grande, lo que permite a los usuarios locales obtener información sensible de la memoria del kernel o provocar una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito o lectura fuera de rango) aprovechando la capacidad de CAP_NET_ADMIN.
