Published Mar 6, 2025 linux CWE-476 EPSS 0.18% (8th pctl) CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Overview

CVE-2024-58068 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on March 6, 2025 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:

OPP: fix dev_pm_opp_find_bw_*() when bandwidth table not initialized

If a driver calls dev_pm_opp_find_bw_ceil/floor() the retrieve bandwidth

from the OPP table but the bandwidth table was not created because the

interconnect properties were missing in the OPP consumer node, the

kernel will crash with:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000004

...

pc : _read_bw+0x8/0x10

lr : _opp_table_find_key+0x9c/0x174

...

Call trace:

_read_bw+0x8/0x10 (P)

_opp_table_find_key+0x9c/0x174 (L)

_find_key+0x98/0x168

dev_pm_opp_find_bw_ceil+0x50/0x88

...

In order to fix the crash, create an assert function to check

if the bandwidth table was created before trying to get a

bandwidth with _read_bw().

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.
