CVE-2024-50128 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's wwan network subsystem. It involves a global out-of-bounds (OOB) read caused by an incorrect assignment of a larger maxtype in the wwan_rtnl_link_ops variable, leading to improper parsing of netlink attributes. This bug is similar to a previously fixed OOB issue in the rmnet_policy component. The flaw can cause memory safety violations detected by Kernel Address Sanitizer (KASAN), potentially leading to denial of service or information disclosure.
