🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널의 터널 전송 함수(iptunnel_xmit, ip6tunnel_xmit)에 재귀 제한이 없어 발생하는 취약점입니다. 브로드캐스트 모드의 본딩 장치에 GRE TAP 인터페이스가 슬레이브로 연결된 경우, 멀티캐스트/브로드캐스트 트래픽이 무한 재귀를 유발하여 커널 스택 오버플로우를 일으킬 수 있습니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
네트워크 통로를 만드는 과정에서 데이터가 자기 자신을 계속 호출하는 무한 루프에 빠지는 문제입니다. 이로 인해 시스템의 메모리 공간이 가득 차서 컴퓨터가 멈추거나 꺼질 수 있습니다.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: add xmit recursion limit to tunnel xmit functions
Tunnel xmit functions (iptunnel_xmit, ip6tunnel_xmit) lack their own
recursion limit. When a bond device in broadcast mode has GRE tap
interfaces as slaves, and those GRE tunnels route back through the
bond, multicast/broadcast traffic triggers infinite recursion between
bond_xmit_broadcast() and ip_tunnel_xmit()/ip6_tnl_xmit(), causing
kernel stack overflow.
The existing XMIT_RECURSION_LIMIT (8) in the no-qdisc path is not
sufficient because tunnel recursion involves route lookups and full IP
output, consuming much more stack per level. Use a lower limit of 4
(IP_TUNNEL_RECURSION_LIMIT) to prevent overflow.
Add recursion detection using dev_xmit_recursion helpers directly in
iptunnel_xmit() and ip6tunnel_xmit() to cover all IPv4/IPv6 tunnel
paths including UDP encapsulated tunnels (VXLAN, Geneve, etc.).
Move dev_xmit_recursion helpers from net/core/dev.h to public header
include/linux/netdevice.h so they can be used by tunnel code.
