CVE-2024-26707

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: hsr: eliminar WARN_ONCE() en send_hsr_supervision_frame() Syzkaller informó [1] que apareció una advertencia después de no poder asignar recursos para skb en hsr_init_skb(). Dado que una llamada WARN_ONCE() no ayudará mucho en este caso, podría ser prudente cambiar a netdev_warn_once(). Como mínimo, suprimirá informes de syzkaller como [1]. Por las dudas, utilice netdev_warn_once() en send_prp_supervision_frame() por motivos similares.

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel affects the High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) protocol. The issue was identified when a warning (WARN_ONCE()) was triggered due to failed resource allocation for skb in the hsr_init_skb() function. The WARN_ONCE() was initially used to log this failure, but it was not deemed helpful in resolving it. Instead, the kernel maintainers switched to using netdev_warn_once() to better handle the failure and avoid excessive warning reports.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hsr: remove WARN_ONCE() in send_hsr_supervision_frame() Syzkaller reported [1] hitting a warning after failing to allocate resources for skb in hsr_init_skb(). Since a WARN_ONCE() call will not help much in this case, it might be prudent to switch to netdev_warn_once(). At the very least it will suppress syzkaller reports such as [1]. Just in case, use netdev_warn_once() in send_prp_supervision_frame() for similar reasons.
