Summary

CVE-2024-12086 is a medium-severity Detection of Error Condition Without Action (CWE-390) vulnerability in Redhat Enterprise Linux. Its CVSS base score is 6.1 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique LSASS Memory (T1003.001); ranked in the top 22% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

A flaw was found in rsync. It could allow a server to enumerate the contents of an arbitrary file from the client's machine. This issue occurs when files are being copied from a client to a server. During this process,…

more

the rsync server will send checksums of local data to the client to compare with in order to determine what data needs to be sent to the server. By sending specially constructed checksum values for arbitrary files, an attacker may be able to reconstruct the data of those files byte-by-byte based on the responses from the client.

T1003.001 LSASS Memory Credential Access
Adversaries may attempt to access credential material stored in the process memory of the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS).
T1003.002 Security Account Manager Credential Access
Adversaries may attempt to extract credential material from the Security Account Manager (SAM) database either through in-memory techniques or through the Windows Registry where the SAM database is stored.
T1014 Rootkit Stealth
Adversaries may use rootkits to hide the presence of programs, files, network connections, services, drivers, and other system components.
T1016 System Network Configuration Discovery Discovery
Adversaries may look for details about the network configuration and settings, such as IP and/or MAC addresses, of systems they access or through information discovery of remote systems.
T1016.001 Internet Connection Discovery Discovery
Adversaries may check for Internet connectivity on compromised systems.
T1016.002 Wi-Fi Discovery Discovery

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation will surface code paths that detect errors yet perform no subsequent action.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

DE.AE-02 partial match
blocks

Analysis of detected events directly counters ignoring them, but does not guarantee every error condition is covered.

DE.AE-08 partial match
blocks

Declaring incidents when criteria are met forces action on detected errors; eliminating the weakness helps but does not define the criteria themselves.

DE.CM-09 partial match
blocks

Monitoring produces detections, yet supplies no requirement to act on them.

PR.PS-04 partial match
blocks

Generating logs enables later action but does not enforce handling of each error condition.

RS.AN-03 partial match
blocks

Root-cause analysis of incidents requires acting on detected anomalies, though it applies after an incident is already declared.

RS.MA-02 partial match
blocks

Triaging and validating reports compels follow-up on detections; removing the weakness supports but does not replace triage processes.

A.8.15 Logging partial match

Logging captures error conditions but does not guarantee subsequent handling or remediation.

finds

Monitoring activities can detect errors, yet without defined response procedures the weakness persists.

Secure development lifecycle practices encourage proper error handling, but do not mandate it for every detected condition.
