CVE-2024-34777

7.1 · HIGH
Published Jun 21, 2024 linux CWE-125 EPSS 0.22% (12th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-34777 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on June 21, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, rated HIGH. 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:

dma-mapping: benchmark: fix node id validation

While validating node ids in map_benchmark_ioctl(), node_possible() may

be provided with invalid argument outside of [0,MAX_NUMNODES-1] range

leading to:

BUG: KASAN: wild-memory-access in map_benchmark_ioctl (kernel/dma/map_benchmark.c:214)
