Overview

CVE-2024-57998 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on February 27, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3, 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:

OPP: add index check to assert to avoid buffer overflow in _read_freq()

Pass the freq index to the assert function to make sure

we do not read a freq out of the opp->rates[] table when called

from the indexed variants:

dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact_indexed() or

dev_pm_opp_find_freq_ceil/floor_indexed().

Add a secondary parameter to the assert function, unused

for assert_single_clk() then add assert_clk_index() which

will check for the clock index when called from the _indexed()

find functions.

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.
