CVE-2024-0646 is an out-of-bounds memory write vulnerability in the Linux kernel Kernel Transport Layer Security (kTLS) implementation. The flaw occurs when the splice function is invoked with a kTLS socket as its destination, allowing kTLS to overwrite read-only memory pages. A local low-privileged attacker may exploit the condition to corrupt kernel memory, crash the system, or potentially escalate privileges.
