CVE-2024-53060

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Nov 19, 2024 linux CWE-476 EPSS 0.26% (17th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-53060 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:

drm/amdgpu: prevent NULL pointer dereference if ATIF is not supported

acpi_evaluate_object() may return AE_NOT_FOUND (failure), which

would result in dereferencing buffer.pointer (obj) while being NULL.

Although this case may be unrealistic for the current code, it is

still better to protect against possible bugs.

Bail out also when status is AE_NOT_FOUND.

This fixes 1 FORWARD_NULL issue reported by Coverity

Report: CID 1600951: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL)

(cherry picked from commit 91c9e221fe2553edf2db71627d8453f083de87a1)

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.
