Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: handle unreadable frags sashiko reports: When an skb with unreadable fragments (such as from devmem TCP, where skb_frags_readable(skb) returns false) is processed by the u32 module, skb_copy_bits() will safely return a negative error code [..] xt_u32: bail out with hotdrop in this case. gather_frags: return -1, just as if we had no fragment header. nfnetlink_queue: restrict to the linear part. nfnetlink_log: restrict to the linear part. v2: - skb_zerocopy helpers don't copy readable flag, i.e. nfnetlink_queue is broken too xt_u32 shouldn't return true if hotdrop was set.

This vulnerability occurs when the u32 module processes network packets containing unreadable fragments, leading to improper handling of these fragments. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by sending specially crafted network traffic, potentially causing a denial of service (DoS) on the affected system.
