GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

FKIE_CVE-2024-38566

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-06-19 14:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 07:40
Severity
5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix verifier assumptions about socket->sk The verifier assumes that 'sk' field in 'struct socket' is valid and non-NULL when 'socket' pointer itself is trusted and non-NULL. That may not be the case when socket was just created and passed to LSM socket_accept hook. Fix this verifier assumption and adjust tests.
