CVE-2024-26951 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:9 kernel-debug-devel.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debug-devel package and not the kernel-debug-devel package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wireguard: netlink: check for dangling peer via is_dead instead of empty list
If all peers are removed via wg_peer_remove_all(), rather than setting peer_list to empty, the peer is added to a temporary list with a head on the stack of wg_peer_remove_all(). If a netlink dump is resumed and the cursored peer is one that has been removed via wg_peer_remove_all(), it will iterate from that peer and then attempt to dump freed peers.
Fix this by instead checking peer->is_dead, which was explictly created for this purpose. Also move up the device_update_lock lockdep assertion, since reading is_dead relies on that.
It can be reproduced by a small script like:
echo "Setting config..."
ip link add dev wg0 type wireguard
wg setconf wg0 /big-config
(
while true; do
echo "Showing config..."
wg showconf wg0 > /dev/null
done
) &
sleep 4
wg setconf wg0 <(printf "[Peer]\nPublicKey=$(wg genkey)\n")
Resulting in:
