Overview

CVE-2024-26600 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on February 26, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

phy: ti: phy-omap-usb2: Fix NULL pointer dereference for SRP

If the external phy working together with phy-omap-usb2 does not implement

send_srp(), we may still attempt to call it. This can happen on an idle

Ethernet gadget triggering a wakeup for example:

configfs-gadget.g1 gadget.0: ECM Suspend

configfs-gadget.g1 gadget.0: Port suspended. Triggering wakeup
