CVE-2024-0607

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

Description A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The issue is in the nft byteorder eval() function, where the code iterates through a loop and writes to the dst array. On each iteration, 8 bytes are written, but dst is an array of u32, so each element only has space for 4 bytes. That means every iteration overwrites part of the previous element corrupting this array of u32. This flaw allows a local user to cause a denial of service or potentially break NetFilter functionality.

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