CVE-2024-0607

6.6 · MEDIUM
Published Jan 18, 2024 linux CWE-229 EPSS 0.24% (15th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-0607 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on January 18, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.6 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.6, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The issue is in the nft_byteorder_eval() function, where the code iterates through a loop and writes to the `dst` array. On each iteration, 8 bytes are written, but `dst` is an array of u32, so each element only has space for 4 bytes. That means every iteration overwrites part of the previous element corrupting this array of u32. This flaw allows a local user to cause a denial of service or potentially break NetFilter functionality.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
