CVE-2024-53091
Description
From CVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Add sk_is_inet and IS_ICSK check in tls_sw_has_ctx_tx/rx As the introduction of the support for vsock and unix sockets in sockmap, tls_sw_has_ctx_tx/rx cannot presume the socket passed in must be IS_ICSK. vsock and af_unix sockets have vsock_sock and unix_sock instead of inet_connection_sock. For these sockets, tls_get_ctx may return an invalid pointer and cause page fault in function tls_sw_ctx_rx. BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000040030 Workqueue: vsock-loopback vsock_loopback_work RIP: 0010:sk_psock_strp_data_ready+0x23/0x60 Call Trace: ? __die+0x81/0xc3 ? no_context+0x194/0x350 ? do_page_fault+0x30/0x110 ? async_page_fault+0x3e/0x50 ? sk_psock_strp_data_ready+0x23/0x60 virtio_transport_recv_pkt+0x750/0x800 ? update_load_avg+0x7e/0x620 vsock_loopback_work+0xd0/0x100 process_one_work+0x1a7/0x360 worker_thread+0x30/0x390 ? create_worker+0x1a0/0x1a0 kthread+0x112/0x130 ? __kthread_cancel_work+0x40/0x40 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x40 v2: - Add IS_ICSK check v3: - Update the commits in Fixes
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
NULL pointer dereferences usually result in the failure of the process unless exception handling (on some platforms) is available and implemented. Even when exception handling is being used, it can still be very difficult to return the software to a safe state of operation.
Integrity,Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands; Read Memory; Modify Memory
In rare circumstances, when NULL is equivalent to the 0x0 memory address and privileged code can access it, then writing or reading memory is possible, which may lead to code execution.
