CVE-2023-52700
Description
From CVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tipc: fix kernel warning when sending SYN message When sending a SYN message, this kernel stack trace is observed: ... [ 13.396352] RIP: 0010:_copy_from_iter+0xb4/0x550 ... [ 13.398494] Call Trace: [ 13.398630] <TASK> [ 13.398630] ? __alloc_skb+0xed/0x1a0 [ 13.398630] tipc_msg_build+0x12c/0x670 [tipc] [ 13.398630] ? shmem_add_to_page_cache.isra.71+0x151/0x290 [ 13.398630] __tipc_sendmsg+0x2d1/0x710 [tipc] [ 13.398630] ? tipc_connect+0x1d9/0x230 [tipc] [ 13.398630] ? __local_bh_enable_ip+0x37/0x80 [ 13.398630] tipc_connect+0x1d9/0x230 [tipc] [ 13.398630] ? __sys_connect+0x9f/0xd0 [ 13.398630] __sys_connect+0x9f/0xd0 [ 13.398630] ? preempt_count_add+0x4d/0xa0 [ 13.398630] ? fpregs_assert_state_consistent+0x22/0x50 [ 13.398630] __x64_sys_connect+0x16/0x20 [ 13.398630] do_syscall_64+0x42/0x90 [ 13.398630] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd It is because commit a41dad905e5a ("iov_iter: saner checks for attempt to copy to/from iterator") has introduced sanity check for copying from/to iov iterator. Lacking of copy direction from the iterator viewpoint would lead to kernel stack trace like above. This commit fixes this issue by initializing the iov iterator with the correct copy direction when sending SYN or ACK without data.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart; DoS: Resource Consumption (CPU); DoS: Resource Consumption (Memory)
An attacker could provide unexpected values and cause a program crash or arbitrary control of resource allocation, leading to excessive consumption of resources such as memory and CPU.
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Memory; Read Files or Directories
An attacker could read confidential data if they are able to control resource references.
Integrity,Confidentiality,Availability
Technical Impact: Modify Memory; Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
An attacker could use malicious input to modify data or possibly alter control flow in unexpected ways, including arbitrary command execution.
