CVE-2022-48855

Disclosure Date: July 16, 2024
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sctp: fix kernel-infoleak for SCTP sockets

syzbot reported a kernel infoleak [1] of 4 bytes.

After analysis, it turned out r->idiag_expires is not initialized
if inet_sctp_diag_fill() calls inet_diag_msg_common_fill()

Make sure to clear idiag_timer/idiag_retrans/idiag_expires
and let inet_diag_msg_sctpasoc_fill() fill them again if needed.
