9) Improper neutralization of directives in statically saved code (\'static code injection\')

EUVDB-ID: #VU95052

Risk: Low

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-42084

CWE-ID: CWE-96 - Improper Neutralization of Directives in Statically Saved Code (\'Static Code Injection\')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ftruncate: pass a signed offset The old ftruncate() syscall, using the 32-bit off_t misses a sign extension when called in compat mode on 64-bit architectures. As a result, passing a negative length accidentally succeeds in truncating to file size between 2GiB and 4GiB. Changing the type of the compat syscall to the signed compat_off_t changes the behavior so it instead returns -EINVAL. The native entry point, the truncate() syscall and the corresponding loff_t based variants are all correct already and do not suffer from this mistake.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
