5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Nov 7, 2024 linux EPSS 0.26% (18th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-50148 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on November 7, 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:

Bluetooth: bnep: fix wild-memory-access in proto_unregister

There's issue as follows:

KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0xdead...108-0xdead...10f]

CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 2805 Comm: rmmod Tainted: G W

RIP: 0010:proto_unregister+0xee/0x400

Call Trace:

<TASK>

__do_sys_delete_module+0x318/0x580

do_syscall_64+0xc1/0x1d0

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f

As bnep_init() ignore bnep_sock_init()'s return value, and bnep_sock_init()

will cleanup all resource. Then when remove bnep module will call

bnep_sock_cleanup() to cleanup sock's resource.

To solve above issue just return bnep_sock_init()'s return value in

bnep_exit().

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.
