Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2022-49330)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2022-49330). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: fix tcp_mtup_probe_success vs wrong snd_cwnd
syzbot got a new report [1] finally pointing to a very old bug,
added in initial support for MTU probing.
tcp_mtu_probe() has checks about starting an MTU probe if
tcp_snd_cwnd(tp) >= 11.
But nothing prevents tcp_snd_cwnd(tp) to be reduced later
and before the MTU probe succeeds.
This bug would lead to potential zero-divides.
Debugging added in commit 40570375356c ("tcp: add accessors
to read/set tp->snd_cwnd") has paid off :)
While we are at it, address potential overflows in this code.
