CVE-2024-44969

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Sep 4, 2024 linux CWE-401 EPSS 0.22% (12th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-44969 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on September 4, 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:

s390/sclp: Prevent release of buffer in I/O

When a task waiting for completion of a Store Data operation is

interrupted, an attempt is made to halt this operation. If this attempt

fails due to a hardware or firmware problem, there is a chance that the

SCLP facility might store data into buffers referenced by the original

operation at a later time.

Handle this situation by not releasing the referenced data buffers if

the halt attempt fails. For current use cases, this might result in a

leak of few pages of memory in case of a rare hardware/firmware

malfunction.

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.
