CVE-2024-53240: xen/netfront: fix crash when removing device

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: 0.62% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 1d5354a9182b6d302ae10367cbec1ca339d4e4e7, 20f7f0cf7af5d81b218202ef504223af84b16a8f, 2657ba851fa3381256d81e431b20041dc232fd88.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 1d5354a9182b6d302ae10367cbec1ca339d4e4e7, 20f7f0cf7af5d81b218202ef504223af84b16a8f, 2657ba851fa3381256d81e431b20041dc232fd88 or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xen/netfront: fix crash when removing device When removing a netfront device directly after a suspend/resume cycle it might happen that the queues have not been setup again, causing a crash during the attempt to stop the queues another time. Fix that by checking the queues are existing before trying to stop them. This is XSA-465 / CVE-2024-53240.

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.

No commit or PR link among the references.

Credits

All researchers

Finders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
