The warning is reached from the NAPI GRO receive path (`udp4_gro_receive` → `gue_gro_receive`) while parsing a UDP datagram arriving from the wire on a host with a FOU/GUE tunnel port, so any remote host that can send a UDP packet to that port triggers it.\nAC:L - The trigger is a single stateless, unsolicited UDP packet whose GUE header carries any `proto_ctype` lacking a registered offload handler; the commit itself notes \"such a packet is easily constructed\" and syzbot generates them, with no race, memory-layout, or timing condition involved.\nPR:N - The GRO path processes the packet before any authentication, authorization, or socket-level filtering — the FOU receive socket is unconnected, so an unauthenticated off-path attacker needs no credentials on the target.\nUI:N - Processing happens automatically in softirq context when the packet is received; no action by any local user or administrator is required.\nS:U - The warning and any resulting panic occur in the kernel of the receiving host, entirely within the same security authority, with no crossing of a VM, container, or IOMMU boundary.\nC:N - Control flow after the WARN is identical to the fixed code (`goto out`); no memory is read out of bounds and nothing is disclosed to the attacker, who cannot observe the kernel log.\nI:N - The bug involves no memory corruption or state modification — the packet is dropped from GRO either way, so no attacker-controlled data is written anywhere.\nA:H - The attacker-triggerable WARN_ON_ONCE becomes an immediate kernel panic on systems configured with `panic_on_warn=1` or a `warn_limit`, a common hardening/crash-dump setting in production, cloud, and Android fleets, allowing a single remote packet to take down the host." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/ipv4/fou_core.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "37dd0247797b168ad1cc7f5dbec825a1ee66535b", "lessThan": "a925a200299a6dfc7c172f54da6f374edc930053", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "37dd0247797b168ad1cc7f5dbec825a1ee66535b", "lessThan": "b1453a5616c7bd8acd90633ceba4e59105ba3b51", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "37dd0247797b168ad1cc7f5dbec825a1ee66535b", "lessThan": "5a2e37bc648a2503bf6d687aed27b9f4455d82eb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "37dd0247797b168ad1cc7f5dbec825a1ee66535b", "lessThan": "3db4395332e7050ef9ddeb3052e6b5019f2a2a59", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "37dd0247797b168ad1cc7f5dbec825a1ee66535b", "lessThan": "440ab7f97261bc28501636a13998e1b1946d2e79", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "37dd0247797b168ad1cc7f5dbec825a1ee66535b", "lessThan": "dd89a81d850fa9a65f67b4527c0e420d15bf836c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/ipv4/fou_core.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "3.18", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "3.18", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.234", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.174", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.107", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.47", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.10.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.11", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.18", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.234" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.18", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.174" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.107" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.47" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.10.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.11" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a925a200299a6dfc7c172f54da6f374edc930053" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b1453a5616c7bd8acd90633ceba4e59105ba3b51" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5a2e37bc648a2503bf6d687aed27b9f4455d82eb" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3db4395332e7050ef9ddeb3052e6b5019f2a2a59" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/440ab7f97261bc28501636a13998e1b1946d2e79" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dd89a81d850fa9a65f67b4527c0e420d15bf836c" } ], "title": "fou: remove warn in gue_gro_receive on unsupported protocol", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2024-44940", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2024-09-10T15:27:32.251724Z" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2024-09-12T17:33:06.539Z" } }, { "title": "CVE Program Container", "references": [ { "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/03/msg00002.html" }, { "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/01/msg00001.html" } ], "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "shortName": "CVE", "dateUpdated": "2025-11-03T22:13:45.636Z" } } ] } }
