CVE-2024-41040

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the net/sshd tcf_ct_flow_table_process_conn of the Linux kernel. This flaw allows an attacker with a crafted payload to induce a system crash, resulting in a loss of system availability.

Because exploitation of this flaw requires an attacker to have sufficient access to a system to generate significant amounts of spurious traffic, and because an attacker has very limited control over the consequences of the data corruption caused by this vulnerability, Red Hat assesses its impact as Moderate.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
