Overview

CVE-2024-26799 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on April 4, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.0 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.0, rated HIGH. 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:

ASoC: qcom: Fix uninitialized pointer dmactl

In the case where __lpass_get_dmactl_handle is called and the driver

id dai_id is invalid the pointer dmactl is not being assigned a value,

and dmactl contains a garbage value since it has not been initialized

and so the null check may not work. Fix this to initialize dmactl to

NULL. One could argue that modern compilers will set this to zero, but

it is useful to keep this initialized as per the same way in functions

__lpass_platform_codec_intf_init and lpass_cdc_dma_daiops_hw_params.

Cleans up clang scan build warning:

sound/soc/qcom/lpass-cdc-dma.c:275:7: warning: Branch condition

evaluates to a garbage value [core.uninitialized.Branch]

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
