CVE-2024-43890 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:8 perf.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Fix overflow in get_free_elt()
"tracing_map->next_elt" in get_free_elt() is at risk of overflowing.
Once it overflows, new elements can still be inserted into the tracing_map
even though the maximum number of elements (max_elts) has been reached.
Continuing to insert elements after the overflow could result in the
tracing_map containing "tracing_map->max_size" elements, leaving no empty
entries.
If any attempt is made to insert an element into a full tracing_map using
__tracing_map_insert(), it will cause an infinite loop with preemption
disabled, leading to a CPU hang problem.
Fix this by preventing any further increments to "tracing_map->next_elt" once it reaches "tracing_map->max_elt".
