Published: June 8, 2024 / Updated: May 13, 2025


Vulnerability identifier: #VU91317
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 6.8 [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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27415
CWE-ID: CWE-667
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper locking within the nf_conntrack_init_end() function in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c, within the nf_ct_bridge_pre() function in net/bridge/netfilter/nf_conntrack_bridge.c, within the IS_ENABLED() and br_nf_pre_routing() functions in net/bridge/br_netfilter_hooks.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
