Overview

CVE-2024-41074 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 29, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, 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:

cachefiles: Set object to close if ondemand_id < 0 in copen

If copen is maliciously called in the user mode, it may delete the request

corresponding to the random id. And the request may have not been read yet.

Note that when the object is set to reopen, the open request will be done

with the still reopen state in above case. As a result, the request

corresponding to this object is always skipped in select_req function, so

the read request is never completed and blocks other process.

Fix this issue by simply set object to close if its id < 0 in copen.

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.
