AI-suggested

No explicit patch links or vendor advisory details are provided in the input. Until a fix is confirmed, avoid running untrusted code with local access on affected Linux kernel versions and monitor official Linux kernel security advisories for updates.

Description

CVE-2024-53082 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's virtio_net driver. It involves the absence of a proper hash_key_length check in the virtnet_probe() function, which could lead to out-of-bounds errors when setting or reading the hash key. This flaw has been addressed by adding the necessary length check to prevent such errors.
