CVE-2024-46854
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: dpaa: Pad packets to ETH_ZLEN When sending packets under 60 bytes, up to three bytes of the buffer following the data may be leaked.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.23%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: dpaa: Pad packets to ETH_ZLEN When sending packets under 60 bytes, up to three bytes of the buffer following the data may be leaked. Avoid this by extending all packets to ETH_ZLEN, ensuring nothing is leaked in the padding. This bug can be reproduced by running $ ping -s 11 destination
