ZDI-23-1490: Linux Kernel Netfilter Xtables Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability

First published: Fri Sep 29 2023(Updated: )

This vulnerability allows local attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of the Linux Kernel. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute high-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the u32_match_it function. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated data structure. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel.
