CVE-2024-46826: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ELF: fix kernel.randomize_va_space double read ELF loader uses "randomize_va_space" twice. It is sysctl and can change at any moment, so 2 loads could see 2 different values in theory with unpredictable consequences. Issue exactly one load for consistent value across one exec.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: before 6.1.110 (fixed in 6.1.110); from 6.2, before 6.6.51 (fixed in 6.6.51); from 6.7, before 6.10.10 (fixed in 6.10.10)
