CVE-2024-50067

Kernel memory corruption via oversized uprobe arguments

Published Oct 28, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2026

Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel uprobes allows local users to corrupt kernel memory by supplying oversized trace arguments. store_trace_args() copies fetched user-space strings and arrays into a page-sized per-CPU buffer without enforcing the buffer boundary. Triggering requires a configured uprobe that fetches sufficiently large arguments; the published reproducer produces a KASAN-detected kernel-memory write.
