Overview

CVE-2024-38619 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on June 20, 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:

usb-storage: alauda: Check whether the media is initialized

The member "uzonesize" of struct alauda_info will remain 0

if alauda_init_media() fails, potentially causing divide errors

in alauda_read_data() and alauda_write_lba().

- Add a member "media_initialized" to struct alauda_info.

- Change a condition in alauda_check_media() to ensure the

first initialization.

- Add an error check for the return value of alauda_init_media().

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.
