CWE ID 119

Summary

CVE-2024-26589 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel where the check for valid offsets in PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS is insufficient. The issue allows an attacker to load flow_keys to a register and add a variable offset, resulting in an out-of-bounds access. This can lead to a crash or potential exploitation. The vulnerability is patched by rejecting ptr alu with variable offset on flow_keys. After applying the patch, attempts to execute such programs result in the error message "R7 pointer arithmetic on flow_keys prohibited."
