Overview

CVE-2024-58085 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on March 6, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. 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:

tomoyo: don't emit warning in tomoyo_write_control()

syzbot is reporting too large allocation warning at tomoyo_write_control(),

for one can write a very very long line without new line character. To fix

this warning, I use __GFP_NOWARN rather than checking for KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE,

for practically a valid line should be always shorter than 32KB where the

"too small to fail" memory-allocation rule applies.

One might try to write a valid line that is longer than 32KB, but such

request will likely fail with -ENOMEM. Therefore, I feel that separately

returning -EINVAL when a line is longer than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE is redundant.

There is no need to distinguish over-32KB and over-KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. 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.
