CVE-2024-1305
CVE-2024-1305: A memory overflow vulnerability exists in tap-windows6 driver versions 9.26 and earlier. This flaw stems from inadequate size validation of incoming write operations, potentially enabling attackers to overflow memory buffers. Exploitation can lead to a bug check and, critically, arbitrary code execution within the kernel space. Despite a CVSS score of 0, the presence of the 'In The Wild' tag indicates active exploitation, warranting attention. The SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, suggesting it's not immediately critical, but active exploitation means it should still be monitored and potentially mitigated depending on the specific environment. Successful exploitation could compromise the entire system due to the kernel-level code execution. This makes CVE-2024-1305 a significant risk for systems utilizing the vulnerable tap-windows6 driver. Upgrade the tap-windows6 driver to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
Description
CVE-2024-1305 is a vulnerability with a CVSS score of 0, indicating a low severity level. However, SOCRadar's unique 'SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score' (SVRS) assigns it a score of 30, highlighting the potential for exploitation. This discrepancy stems from SVRS's integration of various 'Vulnerability Intelligence' elements, including Social Media, News, Code Repositories, Dark/Deep Web data, and associations with Threat Actors and malware.
Key Insights
- Active Exploitation: The vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild, posing an immediate threat to organizations.
- Low CVSS Score: The CVSS score of 0 may underestimate the severity of the vulnerability, as it does not consider the broader context and potential impact.
- SVRS Score: The SVRS score of 30 indicates a moderate level of risk, warranting attention and prompt mitigation.
- Threat Actors: Specific threat actors or APT groups actively exploiting this vulnerability have not been identified at this time.
Mitigation Strategies
- Apply Software Updates: Install the latest software updates and patches to address the vulnerability.
- Enable Security Controls: Implement security controls such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and anti-malware software to prevent exploitation.
- Monitor Network Traffic: Monitor network traffic for suspicious activity and investigate any anomalies.
- Educate Users: Train users on cybersecurity best practices, including recognizing phishing attempts and avoiding suspicious links.
