If kernel headers need to be extracted, bcc 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 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, bcc 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-2024-2314)

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

An update of the bcc package has been released.

The remote Oracle Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2024-9187 advisory.

    - Really prevent the loading of compromised headers (RHEL-28769, CVE-2024-2314)

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

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:9187 advisory.

    BPF Compiler Collection (BCC) is a toolkit for easier creation of efficient kernel tracing and     manipulation programs. BCC uses the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) tool.

    Security Fix(es):

    * bcc: unprivileged users can force loading of compromised linux headers (CVE-2024-2314)
