What is CVE-2024-58010?
CVE-2024-58010 is a high-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 27 Feb 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binfmt_flat: Fix integer overflow bug on 32 bit systems
Most of these sizes and counts are capped at 256MB so the math doesn't result in an integer overflow. The "relocs" count needs to be checked as well. Otherwise on 32bit systems the calculation of "full_data" could be wrong.
full_data = data_len + relocs * sizeof(unsigned long);
Weakness: CWE-190
