About this tag
CVE-2024-44989 is a Linux kernel vulnerability in the bonding driver that can cause a null-pointer dereference in the XFRM/IPsec offload path. The issue stems from a race condition during bond interface changes, where the driver may set the internal real_dev pointer to NULL while XFRM callbacks run concurrently. Microsoft's MSRC statement notes that Azure Linux includes the affected open-source library and is potentially impacted, but this is a scoped inventory attestation rather than a guarantee that no other Microsoft product contains the same vulnerable code. Discussions on WindowsForum.com examine the scope of Microsoft's exposure and the technical details of the vulnerability.
