{"id":"CVE-2024-35889","summary":"idpf: fix kernel panic on unknown packet types","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nidpf: fix kernel panic on unknown packet types\n\nIn the very rare case where a packet type is unknown to the driver,\nidpf_rx_process_skb_fields would return early without calling\neth_type_trans to set the skb protocol / the network layer handler.\nThis is especially problematic if tcpdump is running when such a\npacket is received, i.e. it would cause a kernel panic.\n\nInstead, call eth_type_trans for every single packet, even when\nthe packet type is unknown.","modified":"2026-04-02T11:51:59.044999Z","published":"2024-05-19T08:34:45.274Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2024:2135-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2203-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2894-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2939-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2947-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2973-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20008-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20028-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20166-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20249-1"],"database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/35xxx/CVE-2024-35889.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b4d28f7fa4dd531cf503a4fe1ca7008960cc5832"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dd19e827d63ac60debf117676d1126bff884bdb8"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/35xxx/CVE-2024-35889.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-35889"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"3a8845af66edb340ba9210bb8a0da040c7d6e590"},{"fixed":"b4d28f7fa4dd531cf503a4fe1ca7008960cc5832"},{"fixed":"dd19e827d63ac60debf117676d1126bff884bdb8"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-35889.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
