CWE ID 416
Summary
CVE-2024-1085 is a use-after-free vulnerability impacting the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component. This issue can be exploited locally to achieve privilege escalation. Specifically, the nft_setelem_catchall_deactivate() function fails to properly update the status of a catch-all set element before freeing it, allowing it to be freed multiple times and leading to a double free vulnerability. To mitigate this risk, it is strongly advised to upgrade to a version past commit b1db244ffd041a49ecc9618e8feb6b5c1afcdaa7.
