CVE-2024-35889

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue arises when a packet type is unknown to the driver, causing idpf rx process skb fields to return early without calling eth type trans to set the skb protocol or the network layer handler. This is particularly problematic if tcpdump is running when such a packet is received, as it would cause a kernel panic. To resolve this, eth type trans should be called for every single packet, even when the packet type is unknown.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
