CVSS 3.1
2.5 lowCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:NCVE-2023-52746
Low (2.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm/compat: prevent potential spectre v1 gadget in xfrm_xlate32_attr()
int type = nla_type(nla);
if (type > XFRMA_MAX) {
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
}
@type is then used as an array index and can be used
as a Spectre v1 gadget.
if (nla_len(nla) < compat_policy[type].len) {
array_index_nospec() can be used to prevent leaking
content of kernel memory to malicious users.
