What the advisory describes

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rds: Fix inet6_addr_lst NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, inet6_addr_lst is never initialized because inet6_init() exits before addrconf_init() is called to initialize it. An attempt to bind an RDS socket to an ipv6 address results in a crash in __ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags() KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f] RIP: 0010:__ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags+0x1df/0x7e0 Call Trace: <TASK> ipv6_chk_addr+0x3b/0x50 rds_tcp_laddr_check+0x155/0x3b0 [rds_tcp] rds_trans_get_preferred+0x15d/0x2d0 [rds] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0x2d/0x110 rds_bind+0x1433/0x1d60 [rds] ? rds_remove_bound+0xd50/0xd50 [rds] ? aa_af_perm+0x250/0x250 ? __might_fault+0xde/0x190 ? __sys_bind+0x1dc/0x210 __sys_bind+0x1dc/0x210 ? __ia32_sys_socketpair+0x100/0x100 ? restore_fpregs_from_fpstate+0x53/0x100 __x64_sys_bind+0x73/0xb0 ? syscall_enter_from_user_mode+0x1c/0x50 do_syscall_64+0x34/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0xd8 RIP: 0033:0x7f47f8269ea9 </TASK> The following code reproduces the issue: struct sockaddr_in6 addr; s = socket(PF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0); memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr)); inet_pton(AF_INET6, ADDRESS, &addr.sin6_addr); addr.sin6_family = AF_INET6; addr.sin6_port = htons(PORT); bind(s, &addr, sizeof(addr)); Found by InfoTeCS on behalf of Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

The versions shown are the advisory's own. Patchlage compares no version numbers and derives no judgement from them — which version is installed is something a person has to look up.

Carried in the product catalogue

An estate covering these products can be recorded in Patchlage. An advisory about them appears in the next morning's situation report.

Does this concern one of your customers?

This page cannot answer that — it does not know your estate. Whoever has recorded their environments gets the answer the morning after publication, together with a paragraph they can forward to the customer unedited.

Patchlage reports hits and suspected hits. About everything else this system says nothing — neither this page nor the situation report ever claims that an estate is safe.
