Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-26926

medium Nessus Plugin ID 227553

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

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

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: binder: check offset alignment in binder_get_object() Commit 6d98eb95b450 (binder: avoid potential data leakage when copying txn) introduced changes to how binder objects are copied. In doing so, it unintentionally removed an offset alignment check done through calls to binder_alloc_copy_from_buffer() -> check_buffer(). These calls were replaced in binder_get_object() with copy_from_user(), so now an explicit offset alignment check is needed here. This avoids later complications when unwinding the objects gets harder. It is worth noting this check existed prior to commit 7a67a39320df (binder: add function to copy binder object from buffer), likely removed due to redundancy at the time. (CVE-2024-26926)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
