CVE-2024-1086

Una vulnerabilidad de use after free en el componente netfilter: nf_tables del kernel de Linux puede explotarse para lograr una escalada de privilegios local. La función nft_verdict_init() permite valores positivos como error de eliminación dentro del veredicto del gancho y, por lo tanto, la función nf_hook_slow() puede causar una vulnerabilidad double free cuando NF_DROP se emite con un error de eliminación similar a NF_ACCEPT. Recomendamos actualizar después del compromiso f342de4e2f33e0e39165d8639387aa6c19dff660.

A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. This issue occurs in the nft_verdict_init() function, allowing positive values as a drop error within the hook verdict, therefore, the nf_hook_slow() function can cause a double-free vulnerability when NF_DROP is issued with a drop error that resembles NF_ACCEPT. The nf_tables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

It was discovered that the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition when releasing PPPoL2TP sockets in certain conditions, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle block device modification while it is mounted. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information.

Linux kernel contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the netfilter: nf_tables component that allows an attacker to achieve local privilege escalation.
