Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

inet_diag: fix kernel-infoleak for UDP sockets

KMSAN reported a kernel-infoleak [1], that can exploited
by unpriv users.

After analysis it turned out UDP was not initializing
r->idiag_expires. Other users of inet_sk_diag_fill()
might make the same mistake in the future, so fix this
in inet_sk_diag_fill().

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
