K04107324:Linux kernel vulnerability CVE-2019-3900
Security Advisory
Original Publication Date: 20 Oct, 2020
Security Advisory Description
An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel module in Linux Kernel
up to and including v5.1-rc6, while handling incoming packets in handle_rx().
It could occur if one end sends packets faster than the other end can process
them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall the
vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS scenario. (CVE-2019-3900)
Impact
An attacker may cause a denial-of-service (DoS) that results in a traffic
disruption. This issue only affects BIG-IP platforms with Virtual Clustered
Multiprocessing (vCMP) guests. This issue does not affect BIG-IP Virtual
Edition (VE) or single-instance appliances. BIG-IP vCMP systems are vulnerable
regardless of their configuration or deployed modules.
Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 949889 (BIG-IP and BIG-IQ) to this
vulnerability.
