Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-39487). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: Fix out-of-bounds read in bond_option_arp_ip_targets_set()
In function bond_option_arp_ip_targets_set(), if newval->string is an
empty string, newval->string+1 will point to the byte after the
string, causing an out-of-bound read.
