CISA added a security flaw in the Linux kernel to the KEV catalog. This flaw is being actively exploited. The CVE-2024-1086 (CVSS score: 7.8) is a high-severity issue. It is related to a use-after-free bug in the netfilter component. This bug allows a local attacker to gain root privileges from a regular user and potentially run any code.
“Linux kernel contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the netfilter: nf_tables component that allows an attacker to achieve local privilege escalation,” CISA said.
