CVE-2025-38006

  2. Vulnerabilities (CVE)
  3. CVE-2025-38006
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mctp: Don't access ifa_index when missing In mctp_dump_addrinfo, ifa_index can be used to filter interfaces, but only when the struct ifaddrmsg is provided. Otherwise it will be comparing to uninitialised memory - reproducible in the syzkaller case from dhcpd, or busybox "ip addr show". The kernel MCTP implementation has always filtered by ifa_index, so existing userspace programs expecting to dump MCTP addresses must already be passing a valid ifa_index value (either 0 or a real index).

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: mctp: No acceder a ifa_index si falta. En mctp_dump_addrinfo, ifa_index puede usarse para filtrar interfaces, pero solo cuando se proporciona la estructura ifaddrmsg. De lo contrario, se comparará con memoria no inicializada, lo cual es reproducible en el caso de syzkaller desde dhcpd o "ip addr show" de busybox. La implementación de MCTP del kernel siempre ha filtrado por ifa_index, por lo que los programas de espacio de usuario que esperan volcar direcciones MCTP ya deben estar pasando un valor válido de ifa_index (0 o un índice real).
