Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value was subject to an integer overflow in the Linux kernel when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs). A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit 3b4929f65b0d8249f19a50245cd88ed1a2f78cff.

  • Alert on unexpected kernel panic events on Linux hosts with open TCP service ports, particularly those running kernel versions 2.6.29 through 5.1.10.
  • ·The attack is only exploitable on Linux kernels >= 2.6.29 and < the patched stable releases (4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11); systems already on patched versions are not vulnerable.
  • ·Two separate patch files are required depending on kernel version: PATCH_net_1_4.patch for kernels >= 2.6.29, and additionally PATCH_net_1a.patch for kernels up to and including 4.14.
  • ·If patching is not immediately possible, firewall rules or traffic control policies blocking crafted SACK packets or enforcing a minimum MSS can mitigate the attack.
