CVE-2024-41047 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2024-41047: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i40e: Fix XDP program unloading while removing the driver The commit 6533e558c650 ("i40e: Fix reset path while removing the driver") introduced a new PF state "__I40E_IN_REMOVE" to block modifying the XDP program while the driver is being removed. Unfortunately, such a change is useful only if the ".ndo_bpf()" callback was called out of the rmmod context because unloading the existing XDP program is also a part of driver removing procedure. In other words, from the rmmod context the driver is expected to unload the XDP program without reporting any errors. Otherwise, the kernel warning with callstack is printed out to dmesg. Example failing scenario: 1. Load the i40e driver. 2. Load the XDP program. 3. Unload the i40e driver (using "rmmod" command). The example kernel warning log: [ +0.004646] WARNING: CPU: 94 PID: 10395 at net/core/dev.c:9290 unregister_netdevice_many_notify+0x7a9/0x870 [...] [ +0.010959] RIP: 0010:unregister_netdevice_many_notify+0x7a9/0x870 [...] [ +0.002726] Call Trace: [ +0.002457] <TASK> [ +0.002119] ? __warn+0x80/0x120 [ +0.003245] ? unregister_netdevice_many_notify+0x7a9/0x870 [ +0.005586] ? report_bug+0x164/0x190 [ +0.003678] ? handle_bug+0x3c/0x80 [ +0.003503] ? exc_invalid_op+0x17/0x70 [ +0.003846] ? asm_exc_invalid_op+0x1a/0x20 [ +0.004200] ? unregister_netdevice_many_notify+0x7a9/0x870 [ +0.005579] ? unregister_netdevice_many_notify+0x3cc/0x870 [ +0.005586] unregister_netdevice_queue+0xf7/0x140 [ +0.004806] unregister_netdev+0x1c/0x30 [ +0.003933] i40e_vsi_release+0x87/0x2f0 [i40e] [ +0.004604] i40e_remove+0x1a1/0x420 [i40e] [ +0.004220] pci_device_remove+0x3f/0xb0 [ +0.003943] device_release_driver_internal+0x19f/0x200 [ +0.005243] driver_detach+0x48/0x90 [ +0.003586] bus_remove_driver+0x6d/0xf0 [ +0.003939] pci_unregister_driver+0x2e/0xb0 [ +0.004278] i40e_exit_module+0x10/0x5f0 [i40e] [ +0.004570] __do_sys_delete_module.isra.0+0x197/0x310 [ +0.005153] do_syscall_64+0x85/0x170 [ +0.003684] ? syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x69/0x220 [ +0.004886] ? do_syscall_64+0x95/0x170 [ +0.003851] ? exc_page_fault+0x7e/0x180 [ +0.003932] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x71/0x79 [ +0.005064] RIP: 0033:0x7f59dc9347cb [ +0.003648] Code: 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d 65 16 0c 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 83 c8 ff c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 90 f3 0f 1e fa b8 b0 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 01 f0 ff ff 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d 35 16 0c 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 [ +0.018753] RSP: 002b:00007ffffac99048 EFLAGS: 00000206 ORIG_RAX: 00000000000000b0 [ +0.007577] RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000559b9bb2f6e0 RCX: 00007f59dc9347cb [ +0.007140] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000800 RDI: 0000559b9bb2f748 [ +0.007146] RBP: 00007ffffac99070 R08: 1999999999999999 R09: 0000000000000000 [ +0.007133] R10: 00007f59dc9a5ac0 R11: 0000000000000206 R12: 0000000000000000 [ +0.007141] R13: 00007ffffac992d8 R14: 0000559b9bb2f6e0 R15: 0000000000000000 [ +0.007151] </TASK> [ +0.002204] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Fix this by checking if the XDP program is being loaded or unloaded. Then, block only loading a new program while "__I40E_IN_REMOVE" is set. Also, move testing "__I40E_IN_REMOVE" flag to the beginning of XDP_SETUP callback to avoid unnecessary operations and checks.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2024-41047

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2024-41047 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2024-41047

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2024-41047.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2024-41047, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
