CVE-2024-26882: net: ip_tunnel: make sure to pull inner header in ip_tunnel_rcv()

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.69% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 53.2% of all records.
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 5c03387021cfa3336b97e0dcba38029917a8af2a, 60044ab84836359534bd7153b92e9c1584140e4a, 77fd5294ea09b21f6772ac954a121b87323cec80.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 5c03387021cfa3336b97e0dcba38029917a8af2a, 60044ab84836359534bd7153b92e9c1584140e4a, 77fd5294ea09b21f6772ac954a121b87323cec80 or later.
