Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.


1) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-36005)

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to resource management error within the nft_netdev_event() function in net/netfilter/nft_chain_filter.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-36971)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Red


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the xfrm_link_failure() function in net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c, within the dst_entry ip6_dst_check() and ip6_dst_check() functions in net/ipv6/route.c, within the dst_entry ipv4_dst_check() and ip_do_redirect() functions in net/ipv4/route.c. A remote attacker can send specially crafted packets to the system and execute arbitrary code.

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.


3) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-39502)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
