Overview

CVE-2024-57983 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on February 27, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. 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:

mailbox: th1520: Fix memory corruption due to incorrect array size

The functions th1520_mbox_suspend_noirq and th1520_mbox_resume_noirq are

intended to save and restore the interrupt mask registers in the MBOX

ICU0. However, the array used to store these registers was incorrectly

sized, leading to memory corruption when accessing all four registers.

This commit corrects the array size to accommodate all four interrupt

mask registers, preventing memory corruption during suspend and resume

operations.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. 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.
