Overview

CVE-2024-42290 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 17, 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:

irqchip/imx-irqsteer: Handle runtime power management correctly

The power domain is automatically activated from clk_prepare(). However, on

certain platforms like i.MX8QM and i.MX8QXP, the power-on handling invokes

sleeping functions, which triggers the 'scheduling while atomic' bug in the

context switch path during device probing:

BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/u13:1/48/0x00000002
