CVE-2024-27437

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Apr 5, 2024 linux EPSS 0.24% (15th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-27437 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on April 5, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, 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:

vfio/pci: Disable auto-enable of exclusive INTx IRQ

Currently for devices requiring masking at the irqchip for INTx, ie.

devices without DisINTx support, the IRQ is enabled in request_irq()

and subsequently disabled as necessary to align with the masked status

flag. This presents a window where the interrupt could fire between

these events, resulting in the IRQ incrementing the disable depth twice.

This would be unrecoverable for a user since the masked flag prevents

nested enables through vfio.

Instead, invert the logic using IRQF_NO_AUTOEN such that exclusive INTx

is never auto-enabled, then unmask as required.

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.
