CVE-2024-47664

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Oct 9, 2024 linux CWE-369 EPSS 0.21% (11th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-47664 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on October 9, 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:

spi: hisi-kunpeng: Add verification for the max_frequency provided by the firmware

If the value of max_speed_hz is 0, it may cause a division by zero

error in hisi_calc_effective_speed().

The value of max_speed_hz is provided by firmware.

Firmware is generally considered as a trusted domain. However, as

division by zero errors can cause system failure, for defense measure,

the value of max_speed is validated here. So 0 is regarded as invalid

and an error code is returned.

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.
