CVE-2024-35910

The CVE-2024-35910 issue affects the Linux kernel TCP timer handling for kernel sockets. Root cause: inet_csk_clear_xmit_timers() could be invoked with the socket lock held and uses del_timer(), risking timers running after the netns is freed. Fix: introduced inet_csk_clear_xmit_timers_sync() usi...

kernel: IPv6 connect causes DoS via NULL pointer dereference

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's network subsystem handled socket creation with an invalid protocol identifier. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system...

kernel: uninit op in SOCKOPS_WRAP() leads to privesc

The Linux kernel 2.6.0 through 2.6.30.4, and 2.4.4 through 2.4.37.4, does not initialize all function pointers for socket operations in protoops structures, which allows local users to trigger a NULL pointer dereference and gain privileges by using mmap to map page zero, placing arbitrary code on...
