CVE-2024-57982 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Linux kernel's xfrm (IPSec) state lookup function. This flaw occurs when the xfrm hash table is resized, allowing a lookup operation to access memory outside the allocated hlist array due to inconsistent hash mask values. Rated 7.1 HIGH (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H), successful exploitation could lead to high confidentiality and availability impacts, though it requires local access and low attack complexity. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
