CVE-2025-40173 (GCVE-0-2025-40173)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-11-12 10:53 – Updated: 2026-08-05 12:08

Title

net/ip6_tunnel: Prevent perpetual tunnel growth

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/ip6_tunnel: Prevent perpetual tunnel growth Similarly to ipv4 tunnel, ipv6 version updates dev->needed_headroom, too. While ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment growth was limited in commit 5ae1e9922bbd ("net: ip_tunnel: prevent perpetual headroom growth"), ipv6 tunnel yet increases the headroom without any ceiling. Reflect ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment limit on ipv6 version. Credits to Francesco Ruggeri, who was originally debugging this issue and wrote local Arista-specific patch and a reproducer.

Severity

A purely remote attacker cannot create the required tunnel topology, so the reliable, fully attacker-controlled path is local.\nAC:L - The attacker controls every precondition \u2014 tunnel creation, the looping routes, and the packet stream \u2014 and each transmitted packet deterministically increments `dev-\u003eneeded_headroom` until the u16 header offset wraps; no race, memory-layout luck, or victim state is involved.\nPR:L - Configuring ip6tnl/ip6gre devices and routes needs CAP_NET_ADMIN, but an unprivileged user gains that in their own network namespace with `unshare -Urn`, and the resulting heap corruption is not confined to that namespace.\nUI:N - The attacker creates the tunnels and generates the traffic itself; no action by any other user or administrator is required.\nS:U - The corruption occurs in kernel memory within the same security authority; there is no VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor boundary crossed, making this standard in-kernel privilege escalation.\nC:H - Once `network_header` wraps, `skb-\u003edata` points outside `skb-\u003ehead`, producing out-of-bounds/use-after-free reads \u2014 the IPv4 twin of this bug was reported as a KASAN use-after-free read in `__skb_flow_dissect`, and such reads can disclose arbitrary adjacent kernel heap contents.\nI:H - After the negative `__skb_pull`, `dev_hard_header()` pushes and writes an L2 header at the out-of-bounds `skb-\u003edata`, giving an out-of-bounds write into unrelated kernel heap memory that can be leveraged for control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The wrapped offsets and out-of-bounds accesses reliably produce kernel oops/panic, and the runaway headroom also forces ever-larger skb head reallocations, exhausting memory and destabilizing the system."

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
