  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nnet: gro: don't merge zcopy skbs\nskb_gro_receive() can currently copy frags between the source and GRO\nskb, without checking the zerocopy status, and in particular the\nSKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS flag.\nWhen SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS is set, the skb doesn't hold a reference\non the pages in shinfo->frags. Appending those frags to another skb's\nfrags without fixing up the page refcount can lead to UAF.\nWhen either the last skb in the GRO chain (the one we would append\nfrags to) or the source skb is zerocopy, don't merge the skbs.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Generic Receive Offload (GRO) networking subsystem. This vulnerability occurs when `skb_gro_receive()` attempts to merge zerocopy socket buffers (skbs) without properly managing page reference counts, specifically when the `SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS` flag is set. An attacker could potentially exploit this to trigger a Use-After-Free (UAF) condition, which is a memory corruption vulnerability that can lead to system instability or potentially arbitrary code execution." ],
  "statement" : "This is an Important flaw in the Linux kernel's Generic Receive Offload (GRO) networking subsystem. The vulnerability, a variant of Fragnesia, stems from improper management of page reference counts when merging zerocopy socket buffers. An attacker could exploit this Use-After-Free condition to achieve arbitrary code execution or cause system instability on affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift Container Platform systems.",
