CVE-2024-26975

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published May 1, 2024 linux CWE-476 EPSS 0.23% (13th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-26975 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 1, 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:

powercap: intel_rapl: Fix a NULL pointer dereference

A NULL pointer dereference is triggered when probing the MMIO RAPL

driver on platforms with CPU ID not listed in intel_rapl_common CPU

model list.

This is because the intel_rapl_common module still probes on such

platforms even if 'defaults_msr' is not set after commit 1488ac990ac8

("powercap: intel_rapl: Allow probing without CPUID match"). Thus the

MMIO RAPL rp->priv->defaults is NULL when registering to RAPL framework.

Fix the problem by adding sanity check to ensure rp->priv->rapl_defaults

is always valid.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. 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.
