CVE-2024-0607

Summary

CVE-2024-0607: A vulnerability was discovered in the Netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel. The issue lies in the nft_byteorder_eval() function, where the code writes 8 bytes to a u32 array named `dst`, although each element of the array can only hold 4 bytes. This results in overwriting part of the previous element in the array, leading to a denial of service or potential NetFilter functionality disruption. A local user can exploit this flaw.
