CVE-2024-46717 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: SHAMPO, Fix incorrect page release Under the following conditions: 1) No skb created yet 2) header_size == 0 (no SHAMPO header) 3) header_index + 1 % MLX5E_SHAMPO_WQ_HEADER_PER_PAGE == 0 (this is the last page fragment of a SHAMPO header page) a new skb is formed with a page that is NOT a SHAMPO header page (it is a regular data page). Further down in the same function (mlx5e_handle_rx_cqe_mpwrq_shampo()), a SHAMPO header page from header_index is released. This is wrong and it leads to SHAMPO header pages being released more than once.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's handling of SHAMPO headers can lead to incorrect memory management. Under specific conditions, a standard data page is mistakenly treated as a SHAMPO header page, causing the kernel to release SHAMPO header pages more than once. This issue arises when no socket buffer (skb) has been created, the header size is zero, and the header index indicates the last fragment of a SHAMPO header page.
Users can upgrade to the latest Linux 6.1 packages available in the Debian 11 'bullseye' suite to address this vulnerability.
