Description
Two security vulnerabilities were identified in the tuned packages used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux Fast Datapath 9. The first (CVE-2024-52337) involves improper sanitization of the instance_name parameter in the instance_create() method. The second (CVE-2024-52336) allows arbitrary scripts to be executed as root via the script_pre and script_post options. These issues could lead to privilege escalation or unauthorized code execution. Red Hat has issued an important security advisory with updated packages to address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the update after ensuring all prior relevant errata are installed.
