Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: sr: fix missing sk_buff release in seg6_input_core The seg6_input() function is responsible for adding the SRH into a packet, delegating the operation to the seg6_input_core(). This function uses the skb_cow_head() to ensure that there is sufficient headroom in the sk_buff for accommodating the link-layer header. In the event that the skb_cow_header() function fails, the seg6_input_core() catches the error but it does not release the sk_buff, which will result in a memory leak. This issue was introduced in commit af3b5158b89d ("ipv6: sr: fix BUG due to headroom too small after SRH push") and persists even after commit 7a3f5b0de364 ("netfilter: add netfilter hooks to SRv6 data plane"), where the entire seg6_input() code was refactored to deal with netfilter hooks. The proposed patch addresses the identified memory leak by requiring the seg6_input_core() function to release the sk_buff in the event that skb_cow_head() fails.

En caso de que la funci\u00f3n skb_cow_header() falle, seg6_input_core() detecta el error pero no libera sk_buff, lo que provocar\u00e1 una p\u00e9rdida de memoria. Este problema se introdujo en el commit af3b5158b89d (\\\"ipv6: sr: corrige el ERROR debido a un espacio libre demasiado peque\u00f1o despu\u00e9s de la inserci\u00f3n de SRH\\\") y persiste incluso despu\u00e9s de el commit 7a3f5b0de364 (\\\"netfilter: agregue enlaces de netfilter al plano de datos SRv6\\\"), donde todo el seg6_input( ) el c\u00f3digo fue refactorizado para lidiar con los ganchos de netfilter. El parche propuesto aborda la p\u00e9rdida de memoria identificada al requerir que la funci\u00f3n seg6_input_core() libere sk_buff en caso de que skb_cow_head() falle.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N\",\"baseScore\":6.2,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"NONE\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"NONE\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":2.5,\"impactScore\":3.6}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-401\"}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5447f9708d9e4c17a647b16a9cb29e9e02820bd9\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8f1fc3b86eaea70be6abcae2e9aa7e7b99453864\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e8688218e38111ace457509d8f0cad75f79c1a7a\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f4df8c7670a73752201cbde215254598efdf6ce8\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f5fec1588642e415a3d72e02140160661b303940\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5447f9708d9e4c17a647b16a9cb29e9e02820bd9\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8f1fc3b86eaea70be6abcae2e9aa7e7b99453864\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e8688218e38111ace457509d8f0cad75f79c1a7a\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f4df8c7670a73752201cbde215254598efdf6ce8\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f5fec1588642e415a3d72e02140160661b303940\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"}]}}"
