Transmit requests in Xen's virtual network protocol can consist of
multiple parts. While not really useful, except for the initial part
any of them may be of zero length, i.e. carry no data at all. Besides a
certain initial portion of the to be transferred data, these parts are
directly translated into what Linux calls SKB fragments. Such converted
request parts can, when for a particular SKB they are all of length
zero, lead to a de-reference of NULL in core networking code.

Transmit requests in Xen's virtual network protocol can consist of
multiple parts. While not really useful, except for the initial part
any of them may be of zero length, i.e. carry no data at all. Besides a
certain initial portion of the to be transferred data, these parts are
directly translated into what Linux calls SKB fragments. Such converted
request parts can, when for a particular SKB they are all of length
zero, lead to a de-reference of NULL in core networking code.

CVE-2023-46838 [HIGH] xen-netback: don't produce zero-size SKB frags
xen-netback: don't produce zero-size SKB frags
While frontends may submit zero-size requests (wasting a precious slot),
core networking code as of at least 3ece782693c4b ("sock: skb_copy_ubufs
support for compound pages") can't deal with SKBs when they have all
zero-size fragments. Respond to empty requests right when populating
fragments; all further processing is fragment based and hence won't
encounter these empty requests anymore.
In a way this should have been that way from the beginning: When no data
is to be transferred for a particular request, there's not even a point
in validating the respective grant ref. That's no different from e.g.
passing NULL into memcpy() when at the same time the size is 0.
This is XSA-448 / CVE-2023-46838.

CVE-2023-51781 [MEDIUM] Linux kernel (GCP) vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel (GCP) vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Ruihan Li discovered that the bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel did
not properly perform permissions checks when handling HCI sockets. A
physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(bluetooth communication). (CVE-2023-2002)
It was discovered that the NVIDIA Tegra XUSB pad controller driver in the
Linux kernel did not properly handle return values in certain error
conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2023-23000)
It was discovered that Spectre-BHB mitigations were missing for Ampere
processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive
information. (CVE-2023-3006)

CVE-2023-52438 [HIGH] Linux kernel (OEM) vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel (OEM) vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Pratyush Yadav discovered that the Xen network backend implementation in
the Linux kernel did not properly handle zero length data request, leading
to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. An attacker in a guest VM
could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (host domain crash).
(CVE-2023-46838)
It was discovered that the Habana's AI Processors driver in the Linux
kernel did not properly initialize certain data structures before passing
them to user space. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive
information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-50431)

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.

CVE-2023-46838 [HIGH] CVE-2023-46838: linux - Transmit requests in Xen's virtual network protocol can consist of multiple part...
Transmit requests in Xen's virtual network protocol can consist of multiple parts. While not really useful, except for the initial part any of them may be of zero length, i.e. carry no data at all. Besides a certain initial portion of the to be transferred data, these parts are directly translated into what Linux calls SKB fragments. Such converted request parts can, when for a particular SKB they are all of length zero, lead to a de-reference of NULL in core networking code.
