Overview

CVE-2024-27433 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 17, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, 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:

clk: mediatek: mt7622-apmixedsys: Fix an error handling path in clk_mt8135_apmixed_probe()

'clk_data' is allocated with mtk_devm_alloc_clk_data(). So calling

mtk_free_clk_data() explicitly in the remove function would lead to a

double-free.

Remove the redundant call.

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.
