  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nnetfilter: require Ethernet MAC header before using eth_hdr()\n`ip6t_eui64`, `xt_mac`, the `bitmap:ip,mac`, `hash:ip,mac`, and\n`hash:mac` ipset types, and `nf_log_syslog` access `eth_hdr(skb)`\nafter either assuming that the skb is associated with an Ethernet\ndevice or checking only that the `ETH_HLEN` bytes at\n`skb_mac_header(skb)` lie between `skb->head` and `skb->data`.\nMake these paths first verify that the skb is associated with an\nEthernet device, that the MAC header was set, and that it spans at\nleast a full Ethernet header before accessing `eth_hdr(skb)`.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter component. Certain netfilter modules, including `ip6t_eui64` and `xt_mac`, accessed Ethernet MAC header data without first verifying that an Ethernet device was associated with the network packet or that the MAC header was present and of sufficient length. This oversight could allow a local or remote attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds read, potentially leading to a system crash and a Denial of Service (DoS)." ],
