5.5 · MEDIUMOverview
CVE-2023-52780 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 21, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mvneta: fix calls to page_pool_get_stats
Calling page_pool_get_stats in the mvneta driver without checks
leads to kernel crashes.
First the page pool is only available if the bm is not used.
The page pool is also not allocated when the port is stopped.
It can also be not allocated in case of errors.
The current implementation leads to the following crash calling
ethstats on a port that is down or when calling it at the wrong moment:
ble to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000070
[00000070] *pgd=00000000
