CVE-2024-11614: Dpdk: denial of service from malicious guest on hypervisors using dpdk vhost library

HighCVSS 7.4 · v3.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 29/100)

  • 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: 0.55% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/ dpdk 21.11-4; azl3 dpdk 23.11-2 on Azure Linux 3.0 23.11.3-1; azl3 dpdk 23.11.3-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 23.11.3-1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/ dpdk 21.11-4; azl3 dpdk 23.11-2 on Azure Linux 3.0 23.11.3-1; azl3 dpdk 23.11.3-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 23.11.3-1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in DPDK's Vhost library checksum offload feature. This issue enables an untrusted or compromised guest to crash the hypervisor's vSwitch by forging Virtio descriptors to cause out-of-bounds reads. This flaw allows an attacker with a malicious VM using a virtio driver to cause the vhost-user side to crash by sending a packet with a Tx checksum offload request and an invalid csum_start offset.
