CVE-2024-42416 (GCVE-0-2024-42416)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-09-05 04:31 – Updated: 2025-11-04 16:13
VLAI?
Title
Multiple issues in ctl(4) CAM Target Layer
Summary
The ctl_report_supported_opcodes function did not sufficiently validate a field provided by userspace, allowing an arbitrary write to a limited amount of kernel help memory. Malicious software running in a guest VM that exposes virtio_scsi can exploit the vulnerabilities to achieve code execution on the host in the bhyve userspace process, which typically runs as root. Note that bhyve runs in a Capsicum sandbox, so malicious code is constrained by the capabilities available to the bhyve process. A malicious iSCSI initiator could achieve remote code execution on the iSCSI target host.
Severity ?
