Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.8-rc3 (Operating System) and classified as critical. This issue affects some unknown functionality of the component Open vSwitch Sub-Component. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). Impacted is availability. The summary by CVE is:

A vulnerability was reported in the Open vSwitch sub-component in the Linux Kernel. The flaw occurs when a recursive operation of code push recursively calls into the code block. The OVS module does not validate the stack depth, pushing too many frames and causing a stack overflow. As a result, this can lead to a crash or other related issues.

The weakness was shared 02/11/2024. The advisory is shared at access.redhat.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2024-1151 since 02/01/2024. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 210815 (RHEL 9 : kernel (RHSA-2024:9315)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.

Upgrading to version 6.8-rc4 eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at Tenable (210815). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
