CVE-2024-42067 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Take return from set_memory_rox() into account with bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro() set_memory_rox() can fail, leaving memory unprotected. Check return and bail out when bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro() returns an error.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's handling of Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation for Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) programs can lead to memory not being properly protected, potentially allowing for unauthorized access or modification. This issue arises because the function responsible for setting memory to read-only execution can fail, leaving memory exposed. The vulnerability is present in the stable versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been addressed.
