CVE-2024-47027
CVE-2024-47027 allows for arbitrary physical memory access due to improper input validation in lib/sm/shared_mem.c. This local privilege escalation vulnerability requires no user interaction. CVE-2024-47027 impacts the sm_mem_compat_get_vmm_obj function and could permit an attacker to gain elevated privileges on an affected system without needing any special execution rights. Although the CVSS score is 7.8 (High), the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 70, indicating a substantial risk that should be addressed promptly, particularly given that it has been tagged as "In The Wild". Even though the SVRS doesn't categorize it as "critical" (above 80), the active exploitation highlights the need for immediate patching and mitigation efforts. This vulnerability poses a significant threat due to the potential for complete system compromise and data breaches. Addressing CVE-2024-47027 is crucial to safeguard against potential attacks.
