A patch addressing this vulnerability is available and has been incorporated into multiple Linux kernel releases, including versions 5.4.0-1128.138~18.04.1 and later. Users and administrators should apply the official kernel updates provided by their Linux distribution vendors, such as the Ubuntu security notice USN-6893-1, and reboot systems to ensure the fix is applied. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond updating to the fixed kernel versions.
Description
CVE-2024-26926 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's binder subsystem where an offset alignment check was inadvertently removed in the binder_get_object() function. This flaw could lead to complications in object unwinding and potential data leakage. The issue was introduced by a commit that changed how binder objects are copied, replacing a previous buffer check with copy_from_user() without an explicit alignment check. The vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel versions prior to fixed releases in the 5.4.x series and others. A patch is available and included in several updated kernel versions.
