Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-7730

high Nessus Plugin ID 230693

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.

- A heap buffer overflow was found in the virtio-snd device in QEMU. When reading input audio in the virtio- snd input callback, virtio_snd_pcm_in_cb, the function did not check whether the iov can fit the data buffer. This issue can trigger an out-of-bounds write if the size of the virtio queue element is equal to virtio_snd_pcm_status, which makes the available space for audio data zero. (CVE-2024-7730)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
