CVE-2024-47685: netfilter: nf_reject_ipv6: fix nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put()

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 36/100)

  • 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: 1.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 71.8% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 10210658f827ad45061581cbfc05924b723e8922, 7a7b5a27c53b55e91eecf646d1b204e73fa4af93, 7bcbc4cda777d26c88500d973fad0d497fc8a82e; Azure Linux 3.0 ARM 6.6.56.1-5; Azure Linux 3.0 x64 6.6.56.1-5.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 10210658f827ad45061581cbfc05924b723e8922, 7a7b5a27c53b55e91eecf646d1b204e73fa4af93, 7bcbc4cda777d26c88500d973fad0d497fc8a82e; Azure Linux 3.0 ARM 6.6.56.1-5; Azure Linux 3.0 x64 6.6.56.1-5 or later.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

No history yet (it accumulates with the daily EPSS job).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.
