Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2024-53141 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter subsystem, specifically within the ipset component. The flaw stems from a missing range check in the `bitmap_ip_uadt` function when handling `IPSET_ATTR_CIDR` parameters. The vulnerability occurs when `tb[IPSET_ATTR_IP_TO]` is absent, but `tb[IPSET_ATTR_CIDR]` is present, causing the `ip` and `ip_to` values to be swapped. This oversight leads to an out-of-bounds memory access, potentially allowing attackers to manipulate memory outside the intended boundaries.

Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: ipset: add missing range check in bitmap_ip_uadt When tb[IPSET_ATTR_IP_TO] is not present but tb[IPSET_ATTR_CIDR] exists, the values of ip and ip_to are slightly swapped. Therefore, the range check for ip should be done later, but this part is missing and it seems that the vulnerability occurs. So we should add missing range checks and remove unnecessary range checks.
