  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrop_monitor: fix size calculations for 64-bit attributes\n\nnet_dm_packet_report_fill() and net_dm_hw_packet_report_fill() use\nnla_put_u64_64bit() to append 64-bit attributes (NET_DM_ATTR_PC and\nNET_DM_ATTR_TIMESTAMP).\n\nOn 32-bit architectures without CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS,\nnla_put_u64_64bit() may append a 4-byte NET_DM_ATTR_PAD attribute for\n64-bit alignment.\n\nHowever, net_dm_packet_report_size() and net_dm_hw_packet_report_size()\nused nla_total_size(sizeof(u64)) instead of nla_total_size_64bit(sizeof(u64)),\nbudgeting 12 bytes instead of up to 16 bytes.\n\nThis under-estimation of SKB size can lead to an skb_over_panic() when\n__nla_reserve() or skb_put() is subsequently called.\n\nFix this by using nla_total_size_64bit(sizeof(u64)) in both size calculations.",

      "scenario": "AV:N - The report path runs in net/core/drop_monitor.c whenever a received packet is dropped or hardware-trapped; a remote unauthenticated attacker triggers it simply by sending packets that get dropped, and controls skb->len which feeds payload_len and thus the under-sized allocation.\nAC:L - On an affected build the attacker can drive the path at will, tuning packet length byte-by-byte to land the under-budgeted skb exactly at an allocator bucket boundary; no race or unpredictable state is involved.\nPR:N - Enabling packet-alert mode is the victim administrator's monitoring configuration; the attacker's own action is only sending packets that get dropped, which needs no account, credentials or privileges on the target.\nUI:N - The drop-report path is executed automatically by the kernel workqueue when packets are dropped; no local user action is needed.\nS:U - The under-allocated skb and the resulting skb_over_panic() are entirely within the kernel's own security authority; no VM, IOMMU or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:N - __nla_reserve() detects the overrun in skb_put() and panics before any data is written or read past the buffer, so no memory contents are disclosed to the attacker.\nI:N - skb_over_panic() aborts before the out-of-bounds payload copy occurs, so no adjacent memory is modified and no control-flow primitive is obtained.\nA:H - The size under-estimation makes skb_put() exceed skb->end, invoking skb_over_panic() which calls BUG() and takes down the machine, a complete and repeatable denial of service."
