---------------------- https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2019/05/02/1 syzbot has reported a remotely triggerable memory corruption in the Linux kernel. It's been introduced quite recently in e20cf8d3f1f7 ("udp: implement GRO for plain UDP sockets.") and only affects the 5.0 (stable) release (so the name is a bit overhyped :). CVE-2019-11683 description: udp_gro_receive_segment in net/ipv4/udp_offload.c in the Linux kernel 5.x through 5.0.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (slab-out-of-bounds memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via UDP packets with a 0 payload, because of mishandling of padded packets, aka the "GRO packet of death" issue. Fix (not yet upstream): https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=4dd2b82d5adfbe0b1587ccad7a8f76d826120f37 ---------------------- https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/ChangeLog-5.0.11 https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/ChangeLog-5.0.12
