CVE-2021-47102

Linux Linux, linux kernel

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: marvell: prestera: fix incorrect structure access In line: upper = info->upper_dev; We access upper_dev field, which is related only for particular events (e.g. event == NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER). So, this line cause invalid memory access for another events, when ptr is not netdev_notifier_changeupper_info. The KASAN logs are as follows: [ 30.123165] BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in prestera_netdev_port_event.constprop.0+0x68/0x538 [prestera] [ 30.133336] Read of size 8 at addr ffff80000cf772b0 by task udevd/778 [ 30.13986...
