CVE-2024-50302
Linux kernel could allow internal attacker to access sensitive system data
Halo Surface Signal: 1 out of 5 — much less likely to be public-facing.
An internal attacker can exploit a memory flaw in the Linux kernel by mimicking a connected hardware device. This allows them to read restricted system memory to steal cryptographic keys and credentials, which could let them bypass security controls and compromise sensitive company data.
