Overview

CVE-2024-53048 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on November 19, 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:

ice: fix crash on probe for DPLL enabled E810 LOM

The E810 Lan On Motherboard (LOM) design is vendor specific. Intel

provides the reference design, but it is up to vendor on the final

product design. For some cases, like Linux DPLL support, the static

values defined in the driver does not reflect the actual LOM design.

Current implementation of dpll pins is causing the crash on probe

of the ice driver for such DPLL enabled E810 LOM designs:

WARNING: (...) at drivers/dpll/dpll_core.c:495 dpll_pin_get+0x2c4/0x330
