If kernel headers need to be extracted, bpftrace will attempt to load them from a temporary directory. An unprivileged attacker could use this to force bcc to load compromised linux headers. Linux distributions which provide kernel headers by default are not affected by default.

The version of bpftrace installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-2313 advisory.

  - If kernel headers need to be extracted, bpftrace will attempt to load them from a temporary directory. An     unprivileged attacker could use this to force bcc to load compromised linux headers. Linux distributions     which provide kernel headers by default are not affected by default. (CVE-2024-2313)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of bpftrace installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-2313 advisory.

  - If kernel headers need to be extracted, bpftrace will attempt to load them from a temporary directory. An     unprivileged attacker could use this to force bcc to load compromised linux headers. Linux distributions     which provide kernel headers by default are not affected by default. (CVE-2024-2313)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - If kernel headers need to be extracted, bpftrace will attempt to load them from a temporary directory. An     unprivileged attacker could use this to force bcc to load compromised linux headers. Linux distributions     which provide kernel headers by default are not affected by default. (CVE-2024-2313)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

An update of the bpftrace package has been released.

The remote Oracle Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2024-9188 advisory.

    - Fix CVE allowing unprivileged users loading of compromised linux headers       (RHEL-28765, CVE-2024-2313)
    - Fix CVE allowing unprivileged users loading of compromised linux headers       (RHEL-28765, CVE-2024-2313)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:9188 advisory.

    BPFtrace is a high-level tracing language for Linux enhanced Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) available in     recent Linux kernels (4.x). BPFtrace uses LLVM as a backend to compile scripts to BPF-bytecode and makes     use of BCC for interacting with the Linux BPF system, as well as existing Linux tracing capabilities:
    kernel dynamic tracing (kprobes), user-level dynamic tracing (uprobes), and tracepoints. The BPFtrace     language is inspired by awk and C, and predecessor tracers such as DTrace and SystemTap

    Security Fix(es):

    * bpftrace: unprivileged users can force loading of compromised linux headers (CVE-2024-2313)
