CVE-2024-0607: Fedoraproject Fedora

Medium severity, CVSS 6.6. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The issue is in the nft_byteorder_eval() function, where the code iterates through a loop and writes to the `dst` array. On each iteration, 8 bytes are written, but `dst` is an array of u32, so each element only has space for 4 bytes. That means every iteration overwrites part of the previous element corrupting this array of u32. This flaw allows a local user to cause a denial of service or potentially break NetFilter functionality.

Affected products

• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 39 only
• Linux Linux Kernel: before 6.7 (fixed in 6.7); version 6.7 only
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux: version 8.0 only; version 9.0 only
