      <title>CVE-2024-41090 — tap: add missing verification for short frame</title>
      <link>https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/cve-2024-41090</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;tap: add missing verification for short frame&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The cited commit missed to check against the validity of the frame length
in the tap_get_user_xdp() path, which could cause a corrupted skb to be
sent downstack. Even before the skb is transmitted, the
tap_get_user_xdp()--&amp;gt;skb_set_network_header() may assume the size is more
than ETH_HLEN. Once transmitted, this could either cause out-of-bound
access beyond the actual length, or confuse the underlayer with incorrect
or inconsistent header length in the skb metadata.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the alternative path, tap_get_user() already prohibits short frame which
has the length less than Ethernet header size from being transmitted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is to drop any frame shorter than the Ethernet header size just like
how tap_get_user() does.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CVE: CVE-2024-41090&lt;/p&gt;</description>
