Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s net/core/skbuff.c subsystem. The GSO_BY_FRAGS is a forbidden value and allows the following computation in skb_segment() to reach it. The : mss = mss * partial_segs and many initial mss values can lead to a bad final result. Limit the segmentation so that the new mss value is smaller than GSO_BY_FRAGS.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
