Summary
CVE-2024-56614 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel, specifically the xsk module. The issue lies in the xsk_map_delete_elem function where an unsigned integer, map->max_entries, is compared against a signed integer, k, leading to an out-of-bounds (OOB) map_entry access. The OOB map_entry can then be used to cause an out-of-bounds write, potentially leading to further memory corruption. This vulnerability resulted in a kernel panic and out-of-bounds write, as indicated by the provided kernel stack trace.
