CVE-2024-58110
CVE-2024-58110 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the codec module that could affect system availability. This security flaw allows attackers to potentially overwrite memory buffers, leading to service disruptions. While the CVSS score is 4.6 (Medium), the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 47, indicating a moderate risk. The SVRS considers real-world threat intelligence, including mentions in social media and dark web forums, which, in this case, suggests limited but existing chatter around the exploit. This vulnerability is categorized under CWE-120, a common weakness involving improper buffer size calculations. Although the immediate risk may not be critical, it should be addressed to prevent potential future attacks that target this vulnerability. The "In The Wild" tag means that active attempts to exploit this vulnerability are possible. Timely patching and monitoring are recommended to mitigate any possible effects on your systems.
Description
CVE-2024-58110 is a buffer overflow vulnerability within the codec module, potentially impacting system availability. While its CVSS score is 4.6 (Medium), the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 30 indicates that it is not considered a critical vulnerability. However, the presence of the tag "In The Wild" indicates that the vulnerability is actively exploited by hackers, so attention should be paid to the patch management even if it is not critical based on the CVSS and SVRS Score.
Key Insights
- Active Exploitation: The "In The Wild" tag signifies a heightened risk, as the vulnerability is actively exploited by hackers, even if the SVRS score is not critical. This means that malicious actors are actively attempting to leverage this vulnerability for nefarious purposes.
- Impact on Availability: A successful exploit of CVE-2024-58110 can affect the availability of systems, potentially leading to service disruptions or denial-of-service conditions.
- CWE-120 (Buffer Overflow): The vulnerability falls under CWE-120, a common class of vulnerabilities arising from insufficient boundary checks when writing data to a buffer. This type of vulnerability is often targeted by attackers.
- Exploit Status: Active exploits have been published
Mitigation Strategies
- Apply Patch or Update: Implement the security patch or update provided by the vendor of the codec module as soon as possible. This is the most effective way to address the underlying buffer overflow vulnerability.
- Monitor for Anomalous Activity: Implement monitoring systems to detect suspicious activity, such as unusual network traffic or unexpected system behavior, that might indicate exploitation attempts.
- Implement Input Validation: If possible, implement robust input validation mechanisms in the codec module to prevent buffer overflows by limiting the amount of data that can be written to a buffer.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Use WAF to filter malicious requests.
