2 flaws matching "Linux Kernel", newest first. Clear

9 Sep 2024 Linux Kernel Memory corruption CVE-2017-1000253 7.8 Ransomware

Linux distributions that have not patched their long-term kernels with https://git.kernel.org/linus/a87938b2e246b81b4fb713edb371a9fa3c5c3c86 (committed on April 14, 2015). This kernel vulnerability was fixed in April 2015 by commit a87938b2e246b81b4fb713edb371a9fa3c5c3c86 (backported to Linux 3.10.77 in May 2015), but it was not recognized as a security threat. With CONFIG_ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE enabled, and a normal top-down address allocation strategy, load_elf_binary() will attempt to map a PIE binary into an address range immediately below mm->mmap_base. Unfortunately, load_elf_ binary() does not take account of the need to allocate sufficient space for the entire binary which means that, while the first PT_LOAD segment is mapped below mm->mmap_base, the subsequent PT_LOAD segment(s) end up being mapped above mm->mmap_base into the are that is supposed to be the "gap" between the stack and the binary.

What to do
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
Fixed in (NVD)
linux kernel 4.0.2, linux kernel 3.19.7, linux kernel 3.18.14, linux kernel 3.16.35, linux kernel 3.14.41 and 4 older

30 May 2024 Linux Kernel Memory corruption CVE-2024-1086 7.8 Ransomware

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. The nft_verdict_init() function allows positive values as drop error within the hook verdict, and hence the nf_hook_slow() function can cause a double free vulnerability when NF_DROP is issued with a drop error which resembles NF_ACCEPT. We recommend upgrading past commit f342de4e2f33e0e39165d8639387aa6c19dff660.

What to do
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
Fixed in (NVD)
linux kernel 6.7.3, linux kernel 6.6.15, linux kernel 6.1.76, linux kernel 5.15.149

About the KEV Catalogue

What is the CISA KEV catalogue?

CISA's list of flaws attackers are known to be using. A flaw is added only with reliable evidence of attacks and a known fix.

Why does it matter more than the CVSS score?

Few CVEs are ever used in attacks. These are, so fix them first, whatever their score.

What is the due date?

The deadline for US federal agencies to fix it (BOD 26-04, which replaced BOD 22-01): as little as three days for recent entries. A sensible deadline for anyone.

Does it apply outside the US?

The deadlines don't, but the flaws are in software used everywhere. If you run it, it applies to you.

What does "used in ransomware" mean?

CISA knows ransomware groups have used the flaw.

How often is it updated?

CISA adds flaws several times a week. CVE Hawk checks hourly and alerts you within half an hour if it's your software.
