CVE-2024-36017 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Linux kernel rtnetlink subsystem. The do_setvfinfo path validates each nested IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST attribute only against the 4-byte netlink attribute header length, although the attribute is subsequently treated as a 14-byte struct ifla_vf_vlan_info. An undersized nested attribute can therefore pass validation, be cast to that structure, and cause an out-of-bounds read when the saved VLAN-information entry is later accessed.
