CVE-2023-52850: media: hantro: Check whether reset op is defined before use

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.23% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 24c06295f28335ced3aad53dd4b0a0bae7b9b100, 64f55cebb4339ae771e9e7f3f42bee2489e2fa00, 66b4c5f980d741f3a47e4b65eeaf2797f2d59294.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 24c06295f28335ced3aad53dd4b0a0bae7b9b100, 64f55cebb4339ae771e9e7f3f42bee2489e2fa00, 66b4c5f980d741f3a47e4b65eeaf2797f2d59294 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: hantro: Check whether reset op is defined before use The i.MX8MM/N/P does not define the .reset op since reset of the VPU is done by genpd. Check whether the .reset op is defined before calling it to avoid NULL pointer dereference. Note that the Fixes tag is set to the commit which removed the reset op from i.MX8M Hantro G2 implementation, this is because before this commit all the implementations did define the .reset op.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
