CVE-2020-24502: Improper input validation in some Intel(R) Ethernet E810 Adapter drivers for Linux before version 1.0.4 and before version 1.4.29.0 for…

MediumCVSS 5.5 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.31% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: kernel-tools-libs-devel (AlmaLinux:8) 4.18.0-348.el8; bpftool (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:8::baseos) 0:4.18.0-348.el8; bpftool-debuginfo (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:8::baseos) 0:4.18.0-348.el8.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to kernel-tools-libs-devel (AlmaLinux:8) 4.18.0-348.el8; bpftool (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:8::baseos) 0:4.18.0-348.el8; bpftool-debuginfo (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:8::baseos) 0:4.18.0-348.el8 or later.
