CVE-2022-2639

An integer coercion error was found in the openvswitch kernel module. Given a sufficiently large number of actions, while copying and reserving memory for a new action of a new flow, the reserve_sfa_size() function does not return -EMSGSIZE as expected, potentially leading to an out-of-bounds write access. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

Se ha encontrado un error de coerción de enteros en el módulo del kernel openvswitch. Dado un número suficientemente grande de acciones, mientras ses copiado y es reservada memoria para una nueva acción de un nuevo flujo, la función reserve_sfa_size() no devuelve -EMSGSIZE como es esperado, conllevando potencialmente a un acceso de escritura fuera de límites. Este fallo permite a un usuario local bloquearse o potencialmente escalar sus privilegios en el sistema
