CVE-2024-53223

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

clk: ralink: mtmips: fix clocks probe order in oldest ralink SoCs

Base clocks are the first in being probed and are real dependencies of the

rest of fixed, factor and peripheral clocks. For old ralink SoCs RT2880,

RT305x and RT3883 'xtal' must be defined first since in any other case,

when fixed clocks are probed they are delayed until 'xtal' is probed so the

following warning appears:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at drivers/clk/ralink/clk-mtmips.c:499 rt3883_bus_recalc_rate+0x98/0x138

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.
