🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널의 Open vSwitch 구성 요소에서 push_nsh() 액션의 중간 속성 검증 결함이 발견되었습니다. 이 취약점은 잘못된 크기의 속성을 처리할 때 메모리 경계를 벗어난 접근(slab-out-of-bounds)을 유발하여 시스템 불안정성을 초래할 수 있습니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
네트워크 데이터를 처리하는 과정에서 데이터의 크기가 올바른지 확인하지 않아 발생하는 오류입니다. 공격자가 조작된 데이터를 보내면 컴퓨터의 메모리 영역을 침범하여 시스템이 멈추거나 오류가 발생할 수 있습니다.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: openvswitch: fix middle attribute validation in push_nsh() action
The push_nsh() action structure looks like this:
OVS_ACTION_ATTR_PUSH_NSH(OVS_KEY_ATTR_NSH(OVS_NSH_KEY_ATTR_BASE,...))
The outermost OVS_ACTION_ATTR_PUSH_NSH attribute is OK'ed by the
nla_for_each_nested() inside __ovs_nla_copy_actions(). The innermost
OVS_NSH_KEY_ATTR_BASE/MD1/MD2 are OK'ed by the nla_for_each_nested()
inside nsh_key_put_from_nlattr(). But nothing checks if the attribute
in the middle is OK. We don't even check that this attribute is the
OVS_KEY_ATTR_NSH. We just do a double unwrap with a pair of nla_data()
calls - first time directly while calling validate_push_nsh() and the
second time as part of the nla_for_each_nested() macro, which isn't
safe, potentially causing invalid memory access if the size of this
attribute is incorrect. The failure may not be noticed during
validation due to larger netlink buffer, but cause trouble later during
action execution where the buffer is allocated exactly to the size:

Let's add some checks that the attribute is properly sized and it's
the only one attribute inside the action. Technically, there is no
real reason for OVS_KEY_ATTR_NSH to be there, as we know that we're
pushing an NSH header already, it just creates extra nesting, but
that's how uAPI works today. So, keeping as it is.
