Overview

CVE-2024-41029 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 29, 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:

nvmem: core: limit cell sysfs permissions to main attribute ones

The cell sysfs attribute should not provide more access to the nvmem

data than the main attribute itself.

For example if nvme_config::root_only was set, the cell attribute

would still provide read access to everybody.

Mask out permissions not available on the main attribute.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. 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.
