CVE-2024-26910

4.7 · MEDIUM
Published Apr 17, 2024 linux CWE-362 EPSS 0.18% (7th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-26910 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on April 17, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.7 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.7, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: ipset: fix performance regression in swap operation

The patch "netfilter: ipset: fix race condition between swap/destroy

and kernel side add/del/test", commit 28628fa9 fixes a race condition.

But the synchronize_rcu() added to the swap function unnecessarily slows

it down: it can safely be moved to destroy and use call_rcu() instead.

Eric Dumazet pointed out that simply calling the destroy functions as

rcu callback does not work: sets with timeout use garbage collectors

which need cancelling at destroy which can wait. Therefore the destroy

functions are split into two: cancelling garbage collectors safely at

executing the command received by netlink and moving the remaining

part only into the rcu callback.

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.
