In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NTB: ntb_transport: Fail TX enqueue when the QP link is down
Commit f195a1a6fe41 ("ntb: Drop packets when qp link is down") meant to
make ntb_transport_tx_enqueue() drop packets submitted while the QP link
is down, but it only returns 0 without consuming the packet. Zero means
success by this function's contract, so ntb_netdev reports NETDEV_TX_OK
and forgets the skb: nothing queued it, nothing frees it, and it leaks,
one skb for every transmit racing a link-down.
Return -ENOLINK instead, restoring the contract that a non-zero return
leaves the buffer owned by the caller. With the preceding patch,
ntb_netdev frees the skb on non-retryable enqueue failures and returns
NETDEV_TX_OK, so a packet racing with link-down is dropped without leaking
or entering a busy retry loop.
BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
