CVE-2024-42162

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description: The issue is related to the function gve get ethtool stats() in the Linux kernel's virtual network adapter driver, which is associated with incorrect data checking. This could allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The problem arises when the NIC sends statistics for a subset of queues, potentially leading to an invalid access on the priv->stats report->stats array.

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
