20) Improper neutralization of directives in statically saved code (\'static code injection\') (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-42084)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ftruncate: pass a signed offset The old ftruncate() syscall, using the 32-bit off_t misses a sign extension when called in compat mode on 64-bit architectures. As a result, passing a negative length accidentally succeeds in truncating to file size between 2GiB and 4GiB. Changing the type of the compat syscall to the signed compat_off_t changes the behavior so it instead returns -EINVAL. The native entry point, the truncate() syscall and the corresponding loff_t based variants are all correct already and do not suffer from this mistake.

21) Improper error handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35809)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper error handling within the pci_device_remove() function in drivers/pci/pci-driver.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
