Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-07-25 10:17 - Updated: 2026-09-04 15:07

Severity

7.1 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ipv4: bound TCP reordering sysctl writes and MTU probe sizes Reject invalid `net.ipv4.tcp_reordering` values before they reach TCP socket state. The sysctl is stored as an `int` but copied into the `u32` `tp->reordering` field for new sockets, so negative writes wrap to large values. With `tcp_mtu_probing=2`, the wrapped value can overflow the `tcp_mtu_probe()` size calculation and drive the MTU probing path into an out-of-bounds read. Route `tcp_reordering` writes through `proc_dointvec_minmax()` and require it to be at least 1. Also require `tcp_max_reordering` to be at least 1 so the configured maximum cannot become negative either. When registering the table for a non-init network namespace, relocate `extra2` pointers that refer into `init_net.ipv4` so the `tcp_reordering` upper bound follows that namespace's `tcp_max_reordering`. Harden `tcp_mtu_probe()` itself by computing `size_needed` as `u64`. This keeps the send queue and window checks from being bypassed through signed integer overflow.

The sysctl is stored as an `int` but copied into the\n`u32` `tp-\u003ereordering` field for new sockets, so negative writes wrap\nto large values.\n\nWith `tcp_mtu_probing=2`, the wrapped value can overflow the\n`tcp_mtu_probe()` size calculation and drive the MTU probing path into\nan out-of-bounds read. Route `tcp_reordering` writes through\n`proc_dointvec_minmax()` and require it to be at least 1. Also require\n`tcp_max_reordering` to be at least 1 so the configured maximum cannot\nbecome negative either.\n\nWhen registering the table for a non-init network namespace, relocate\n`extra2` pointers that refer into `init_net.ipv4` so the\n`tcp_reordering` upper bound follows that namespace\u0027s\n`tcp_max_reordering`.\n\nHarden `tcp_mtu_probe()` itself by computing `size_needed` as `u64`.\nThis keeps the send queue and window checks from being bypassed through\nsigned integer overflow."
