Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bridge: cfm: reject invalid CCM interval at configuration time
ccm_tx_work_expired() re-arms itself via queue_delayed_work() using the configured exp_interval converted by interval_to_us(). When exp_interval is BR_CFM_CCM_INTERVAL_NONE or out of range, interval_to_us() returns 0, causing the worker to fire immediately in a tight loop that allocates skbs until OOM.
Fix this by validating exp_interval at configuration time:
- Constrain IFLA_BRIDGE_CFM_CC_CONFIG_EXP_INTERVAL to the valid range [BR_CFM_CCM_INTERVAL_3_3_MS, BR_CFM_CCM_INTERVAL_10_MIN] in the netlink policy so userspace cannot set an invalid value.
- Reject starting CCM TX in br_cfm_cc_ccm_tx() when exp_interval has not yet been configured (defaults to 0 from kzalloc).
