Overview

CVE-2024-50062 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 21, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

RDMA/rtrs-srv: Avoid null pointer deref during path establishment

For RTRS path establishment, RTRS client initiates and completes con_num

of connections. After establishing all its connections, the information

is exchanged between the client and server through the info_req message.

During this exchange, it is essential that all connections have been

established, and the state of the RTRS srv path is CONNECTED.

So add these sanity checks, to make sure we detect and abort process in

error scenarios to avoid null pointer deref.

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.
