Overview

CVE-2023-52796 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 21, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. 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:

ipvlan: add ipvlan_route_v6_outbound() helper

Inspired by syzbot reports using a stack of multiple ipvlan devices.

Reduce stack size needed in ipvlan_process_v6_outbound() by moving

the flowi6 struct used for the route lookup in an non inlined

helper. ipvlan_route_v6_outbound() needs 120 bytes on the stack,

immediately reclaimed.

Also make sure ipvlan_process_v4_outbound() is not inlined.

We might also have to lower MAX_NEST_DEV, because only syzbot uses

setups with more than four stacked devices.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2023-52796?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine.
