Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's rxrpc component. A potential integer overflow vulnerability exists in the rxgk_verify_response() function. This occurs when the token_len value is rounded up before a critical length check, allowing the check to be bypassed. This could potentially lead to unexpected behavior or resource exhaustion, as the response is intended to fit within a single User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packet.
Statement
Integer overflow when sizing RxGK response buffers could lead to undersized allocations; upstream validates token length math. Red Hat recommends kernel updates for rxrpc users.
