CVE-2025-21680 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

pktgen: Avoid out-of-bounds access in get_imix_entries

Passing a sufficient amount of imix entries leads to invalid access to the pkt_dev->imix_entries array because of the incorrect boundary check.

UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in net/core/pktgen.c:874:24 index 20 is out of range for type ‘imix_pkt [20]’ CPU: 2 PID: 1210 Comm: bash Not tainted 6.10.0-rc1 121 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX 1996) Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl lib/dump_stack.c:117 __ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds lib/ubsan.c:429 get_imix_entries net/core/pktgen.c:874 pktgen_if_write net/core/pktgen.c:1063 pde_write fs/proc/inode.c:334 proc_reg_write fs/proc/inode.c:346 vfs_write fs/read_write.c:593 ksys_write fs/read_write.c:644 do_syscall_64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:130
