CVE-2024-53094

9.8 · CRITICAL
Published Nov 21, 2024 linux EPSS 0.59% (46th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-53094 is a critical-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on November 21, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 (CRITICAL).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, rated CRITICAL. 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/siw: Add sendpage_ok() check to disable MSG_SPLICE_PAGES

While running ISER over SIW, the initiator machine encounters a warning

from skb_splice_from_iter() indicating that a slab page is being used in

send_page. To address this, it is better to add a sendpage_ok() check

within the driver itself, and if it returns 0, then MSG_SPLICE_PAGES flag

should be disabled before entering the network stack.

A similar issue has been discussed for NVMe in this thread:
