CVE-2024-6030
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedTesla Model S oFono Unnecessary Privileges Sandbox Escape Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escape the sandbox on affected Tesla Model S vehicles. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute code within the sandbox on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the oFono process. The process allows an attacker to modify interfaces. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to bypass the iptables network sandbox. Was ZDI-CAN-23200.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThis vulnerability in the oFono process on Tesla Model S vehicles allows an attacker with prior sandboxed code execution to modify network interfaces, bypassing the iptables network sandbox and escaping network isolation controls.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check Tesla Model S firmware versionRetrieve the current firmware version from the vehicle system settings or diagnostic interface and compare it to 2024.8Affected if The installed firmware version is below 2024.8 (e.g., 2024.6, 2024.7, etc.)
-
Verify oFono process network interface modification capabilitiesInspect the oFono process permissions or capability set to determine if it has privileges to modify network interfaces directlyAffected if The oFono process possesses capability to add, remove, or modify network interfaces outside its expected sandboxed scope
-
Confirm iptables network sandbox is enforcedCheck if iptables rules properly isolate the oFono process and cannot be bypassed by the oFono process itselfAffected if The oFono process can modify or bypass iptables rules intended to contain its network activity
-
Verify network isolation between oFono and other vehicle processesTest or inspect whether oFono can communicate with processes or networks that should be isolated from itAffected if Network isolation controls can be escaped by oFono, allowing communication with restricted network segments or processes
A user is affected if their Tesla Model S firmware is below version 2024.8 and the oFono process has unrestricted network interface modification capabilities that bypass iptables isolation.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2024.8
Tesla should release a firmware patch restricting interface modification capabilities within the oFono process and strengthen sandbox enforcement to prevent iptables rule bypass.
Tesla Model S Firmware 2024.8 or later
- Ensure the Tesla Model S is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network or has adequate cellular connectivity
- Navigate to the vehicle's 'Software' settings on the touchscreen
- Check for available software updates using the 'Check for Updates' option
- Download and install the firmware update 2024.8 or later if available
- Allow the vehicle to complete the update process and restart
