Overview

CVE-2024-58079 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on March 6, 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:

media: uvcvideo: Fix crash during unbind if gpio unit is in use

We used the wrong device for the device managed functions. We used the

usb device, when we should be using the interface device.

If we unbind the driver from the usb interface, the cleanup functions

are never called. In our case, the IRQ is never disabled.

If an IRQ is triggered, it will try to access memory sections that are

already free, causing an OOPS.

We cannot use the function devm_request_threaded_irq here. The devm_*

clean functions may be called after the main structure is released by

uvc_delete.

Luckily this bug has small impact, as it is only affected by devices

with gpio units and the user has to unbind the device, a disconnect will

not trigger this error.

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.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2024-58079?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2024-58079 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
