Overview

CVE-2024-36935 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 30, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ice: ensure the copied buf is NUL terminated

Currently, we allocate a count-sized kernel buffer and copy count bytes

from userspace to that buffer. Later, we use sscanf on this buffer but we

don't ensure that the string is terminated inside the buffer, this can lead

to OOB read when using sscanf. Fix this issue by using memdup_user_nul

instead of memdup_user.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
