CVE-2024-26679

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: inet: lee sk->sk_family una vez en inet_recv_error() se llama a inet_recv_error() sin mantener el bloqueo del socket. El socket IPv6 podría mutar a IPv4 con la opción de socket IPV6_ADDRFORM y generar una advertencia de KCSAN.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: inet: read sk->sk_family once in inet_recv_error() inet_recv_error() is called without holding the socket lock. IPv6 socket could mutate to IPv4 with IPV6_ADDRFORM socket option and trigger a KCSAN warning.

It was discovered that the Open vSwitch implementation in the Linux kernel could overflow its stack during recursive action operations under certain conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Sander Wiebing, Alvise de Faveri Tron, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida discovered that the Linux kernel mitigations for the initial Branch History Injection vulnerability were insufficient for Intel processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive information.
