2) Use-after-free
EUVDB-ID: #VU91597
Risk: Critical
CVSSv4.0: 8.5 [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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-36971
CWE-ID:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.
Update the affected package the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 47 for SLE 15 SP3) to the latest version.
