CVE-2024-57994

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ptr_ring: do not block hard interrupts in ptr_ring_resize_multiple()

Jakub added a lockdep_assert_no_hardirq() check in __page_pool_put_page()

to increase test coverage.

syzbot found a splat caused by hard irq blocking in

ptr_ring_resize_multiple() [1]

As current users of ptr_ring_resize_multiple() do not require

hard irqs being masked, replace it to only block BH.

Rename helpers to better reflect they are safe against BH only.

- ptr_ring_resize_multiple() to ptr_ring_resize_multiple_bh()

- skb_array_resize_multiple() to skb_array_resize_multiple_bh()

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
