Descriptions

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9-rc7. Traffic between two Geneve endpoints may be unencrypted when IPsec is configured to encrypt traffic for the specific UDP port used by the GENEVE tunnel allowing anyone between the two endpoints to read the traffic unencrypted. The main threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

Se encontró un fallo en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 5.9-rc7. El tráfico entre dos endpoints Geneve puede no estar cifrado cuando IPsec está configurado para cifrar el tráfico para el puerto UDP específico usado por el túnel GENEVE, permitiendo a cualquier persona entre los dos endpoints leer el tráfico sin cifrar. La principal amenaza de esta vulnerabilidad es la confidencialidad de los datos
