Overview

CVE-2024-53072 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:

platform/x86/amd/pmc: Detect when STB is not available

Loading the amd_pmc module as:

amd_pmc enable_stb=1

...can result in the following messages in the kernel ring buffer:

amd_pmc AMDI0009:00: SMU cmd failed. err: 0xff

ioremap on RAM at 0x0000000000000000 - 0x0000000000ffffff

WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 2151 at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:217 __ioremap_caller+0x2cd/0x340

Further debugging reveals that this occurs when the requests for

S2D_PHYS_ADDR_LOW and S2D_PHYS_ADDR_HIGH return a value of 0,

indicating that the STB is inaccessible. To prevent the ioremap

warning and provide clarity to the user, handle the invalid address

and display an error message.

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.
