It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-26849 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-26849/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-26849/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-26849","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-26849/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-26849","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-26849","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-26849","GHSA-9vx2-7qpg-xf7m","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-26849"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A missing validation check in the Linux kernel netlink subsystem allows attackers to read uninitialized memory, potentially disclosing sensitive kernel data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-908","name":"Use of Uninitialized Resource"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnetlink: add nla be16/32 types to minlen array\n\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in nla_validate_range_unsigned lib/nlattr.c:222 [inline]\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in nla_validate_int_range lib/nlattr.c:336 [inline]\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in validate_nla lib/nlattr.c:575 [inline]\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in __nla_validate_parse+0x2e20/0x45c0 lib/nlattr.c:631\n nla_validate_range_unsigned lib/nlattr.c:222 [inline]\n nla_validate_int_range lib/nlattr.c:336 [inline]\n validate_nla lib/nlattr.c:575 [inline]\n...\n\nThe message in question matches this policy:\n\n [NFTA_TARGET_REV]       = NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_BE32, 255),\n\nbut because NLA_BE32 size in minlen array is 0, the validation\ncode will read past the malformed (too small) attribute.\n\nNote: Other attributes, e.g. BITFIELD32, SINT, UINT.. are also missing:\nthose likely should be added too.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"netlink: add nla be16/32 types to minlen array","id":"CVE-2024-26849","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"mm/debug_vm_pgtable: fix BUG_ON with pud advanced test","id":"CVE-2024-26850"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority.","id":"CVE-2024-26848"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-04-17","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A missing validation check in the Linux kernel netlink subsystem allows attackers to read uninitialized memory, potentially disclosing sensitive kernel data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-26849/"}
