CVE-2024-26668 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 kernel-tools.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-tools package and not the kernel-tools package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_limit: reject configurations that cause integer overflow
Reject bogus configs where internal token counter wraps around. This only occurs with very very large requests, such as 17gbyte/s.
Its better to reject this rather than having incorrect ratelimit.
