Overview

CVE-2024-56580 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on December 27, 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:

media: qcom: camss: fix error path on configuration of power domains

There is a chance to meet runtime issues during configuration of CAMSS

power domains, because on the error path dev_pm_domain_detach() is

unexpectedly called with NULL or error pointer.

One of the simplest ways to reproduce the problem is to probe CAMSS

driver before registration of CAMSS power domains, for instance if

a platform CAMCC driver is simply not built.

Warning backtrace example:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000001a2
