Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-23307
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.28
**Description**
The issue is related to an integer overflow in the raid5 cache count() function of the Linux kernel's RAID driver. This can potentially allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The vulnerability is associated with the md, raid, and raid5 modules in the Linux kernel on Linux, x86, and ARM architectures.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 6.6.28, update to version 6.6.28 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable modules (md, raid, raid5) to minimize the risk of exploitation.
