5.5 · MEDIUM
Published May 19, 2024 linux EPSS 0.23% (14th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-35936 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 19, 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:

btrfs: handle chunk tree lookup error in btrfs_relocate_sys_chunks()

The unhandled case in btrfs_relocate_sys_chunks() loop is a corruption,

as it could be caused only by two impossible conditions:

- at first the search key is set up to look for a chunk tree item, with

offset -1, this is an inexact search and the key->offset will contain

the correct offset upon a successful search, a valid chunk tree item

cannot have an offset -1

- after first successful search, the found_key corresponds to a chunk

item, the offset is decremented by 1 before the next loop, it's

impossible to find a chunk item there due to alignment and size

constraints

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.
