It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-49948 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49948/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49948/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-49948","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49948/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-49948","record":{"aliases":["AZL-52620","BELL-CVE-2024-49948","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-49948","GHSA-rxhv-mw63-w89c","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-49948"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel networking","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A malicious GSO packet can cause an integer underflow in the Linux kernel's qdisc packet length initialization, potentially leading to a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: add more sanity checks to qdisc_pkt_len_init()\n\nOne path takes care of SKB_GSO_DODGY, assuming\nskb-\u003elen is bigger than hdr_len.\n\nvirtio_net_hdr_to_skb() does not fully dissect TCP headers,\nit only make sure it is at least 20 bytes.\n\nIt is possible for an user to provide a malicious 'GSO' packet,\ntotal length of 80 bytes.\n\n- 20 bytes of IPv4 header\n- 60 bytes TCP header\n- a small gso_size like 8\n\nvirtio_net_hdr_to_skb() would declare this packet as a normal\nGSO packet, because it would see 40 bytes of payload,\nbigger than gso_size.\n\nWe need to make detect this case to not underflow\nqdisc_skb_cb(skb)-\u003epkt_len.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"net: add more sanity checks to qdisc_pkt_len_init()","id":"CVE-2024-49948","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"net: avoid potential underflow in qdisc_pkt_len_init() with UFO","id":"CVE-2024-49949"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"net: test for not too small csum_start in virtio_net_hdr_to_skb()","id":"CVE-2024-49947"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-10-21","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A malicious GSO packet can cause an integer underflow in the Linux kernel's qdisc packet length initialization, potentially leading to a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49948/"}
